Dongjin Bridge

The Dongjin Bridge spans 400 meters across the Gong River, featuring wooden planks resting upon 100 wooden boats connected by iron chains.

The bridge construction dates back to the Song Dynasty period between 960 and 1279, marking an early example of Chinese engineering methods.

The structure stands near Jianchunmen gate, functioning as a central meeting point for merchants and locals throughout many centuries.

The bridge maintains its original floating design, allowing pedestrians to cross the river while adapting to changing water levels.

The wooden boats supporting the bridge structure remain secured by traditional iron chain connections, preserving historical construction techniques.
