These structures are crafted by weaving the aerial roots of the #Ficus elastica #tree across rivers and streams, utilizing #bamboo scaffolding for support during #growth. This process can take 20 to 25 years, but the resulting bridges are incredibly durable and can last for centuries. The bridges are not only functional but also represent a harmonious blend of human ingenuity and #natural processes, promoting #environmental #sustainability.
