Jiefang Bridge

Jiefang Bridge is a steel arch bridge spanning the river in Fuzhou, with a clear structural design that defines its appearance across the water. It connects multiple city districts through several traffic lanes and carries thousands of residents daily.

The bridge was built during a period of infrastructure expansion in China and represents early 20th century engineering practices. It reflects the development of transportation and civil engineering from that era.

The bridge becomes a focal point during local celebrations, where traditional dragon boat races and festivals draw crowds to its surroundings.

The bridge is best viewed during daylight when light and shadow highlight its structural elements. Walking along the riverbanks offers different viewpoints of the construction and activity on the water.

The steel arches cast distinctive patterns on the water surface and create visual effects that change with the time of day. This makes it recognizable among other river crossings in the region.
