A northeasterly view of the "Bridge of Ten Thousand Ages" on the Min River in Foochow [Fuzhou]. Mt. Kuliang (2500 ft. high) can be seen in the distance. Written beneath this photograph in its album: "Mt. Kuliang is a summer retreat during the hottest weather. Many residences of well-to-do Chinese, foreigners in business and missionaries are on the mountain. Also a Buddhist monastery. Lepers, beggars, outcasts gather on the bridge, the nearer end of which is on Middle Island, the farther end of Pouasang, the southern suburb of Foochow, which is two miles north of the river. The bridge is very ancient and 1350 feet in length. Hopeless men and women often throw themselves from the piers into the river.", Also included in the International Mission Photography Archive., and The Smiths were a family of Congregational missionaries in China, 1901-1950, primarily in Ing Tai and Foochow [Fuzhou].
