Baling-Brücke

The Baling Bridge spans across the Qingyuan He River with a wooden structure featuring a protective roof and architectural elements from northern Chinese design.

Originally constructed during the Ming Dynasty Hongwu period, the current bridge was rebuilt in 1919 after the previous structure was destroyed by flooding.

The bridge represents traditional Chinese engineering methods, receiving national recognition in 2006 when it was added to China's cultural heritage protection list.

Located along historical trade routes, the bridge maintains its role as a transportation link connecting different regions within Gansu Province.

The bridge construction incorporates specific wooden support techniques that were developed based on the architectural style of the Wo Bridge in Lanzhou.
