Sino-Korean Friendship Bridge

The steel truss bridge spans 940.8 meters across the Yalu River, featuring both road and railway tracks for transportation between China and North Korea.

Built under Japanese supervision between 1937 and 1943, the structure endured multiple attacks during the Korean War before being restored in 1953.

The bridge functions as a physical connection between Chinese and North Korean societies, enabling regulated exchanges of goods through its border checkpoint.

Transport vehicles and freight trains cross the bridge daily, while tourist access remains restricted and requires specific authorization from both governments.

From the Chinese riverbank in Dandong, visitors can observe North Korean territory, making it one of few locations to view daily life across the border.
