Bird's Nest Railway Bridge

To truly appreciate the Bird's Nest Railway Bridge, I recommend taking a leisurely stroll along the nearby Yalu River Park. The park offers a picturesque setting, with well-maintained pathways, lush greenery, and panoramic views of the bridge. Walking along the riverbank, I couldn't help but feel a sense of tranquility, enveloped by the breathtaking natural surroundings.

Bird's Nest Railway Bridge, located on the Yalu River in Dandong City, Liaoning, which was the forefront of the resistance to the United States and the DPRK, was built in October 1950. It is a wooden structure column-style railway bridge. Now it is only vaguely able to see the relics of the pier in the river. There are two groups of themes on the shore of the bridgehead. "Farewell to relatives" The sculpture of "Farewell to the Motherland" reproduces the historical scene of the motherland's relatives sending off volunteer soldiers to fight in the DPRK. On the way from the city to the Great Wall of Hushan, you will pass here. You can park and visit. There will be a special parking area on the side of the road.

The floating bridge site, about five kilometers from the Yalu River Broken Bridge, is an important secret passage for volunteer troops to fight and transport materials in the DPRK during the resistance to the United States and aid. In order to ensure that the volunteer army entered the Korean War smoothly, and ensure that the pre-support materials were quickly and promptly shipped to the front line of the Korean War, the volunteer army engineers chose this section of the river to have shoals and small islands, and temporarily built a wooden column bridge. The bridge has 19 piers, made of log clusters of 30 to 50 cm in diameter, and the bridge is 500 meters long. The bridge is very low, slightly above the water at low tide, and not in the water at high tide, which has a strong concealment. The familiar historical photos of the "Volunteer Army Crossing the Yalu River" were taken at this crossing point by military field reporters. The Yalu River floating bridge site is located on the river near the pearl bubble in Bird's Nest Village, Zhen'an District, Dandong City, and the other side of the river is the second largest city in North Korea, Xinyizhou. Now the pontoon bridge site has been listed as a cultural relics protection, Dandong Municipal Government on the site's viewing platform, built a huge stone carving book, the book page opened, burned the extraordinary experience of the pontoon bridge, stone carvings on both sides also have two sets of monumental bronze statue sculptures.

One of the best place. you can watch 鸭绿江 Yalu River and relax. You can also ride bicycles.

Now the bridge is no longer there, just see the remains of wooden pillars in the river, and it has become an observation deck, and you can see the opposite North Korea.
