Faux Namti Bridge, Railway truss bridge in Wantang Township, Pingbian Miao Autonomous County, China.

The Faux Namti Bridge spans 67.2 meters across the Sicha River, featuring a distinctive inverted V design supported by triangular metal trusses.

French engineers from the Batignolles Construction Company built this railway bridge between March 1907 and December 1908 as part of the Kunming-Haiphong railway connection.

The bridge stands as a testament to early 20th-century engineering within the diverse Miao ethnic region of Yunnan Province near the Vietnamese border.

Located at kilometer 111 of the Kunming-Hekou Railway, the bridge carries trains 102 meters above the Sicha River, connecting southwestern China to Vietnam.

The bridge installation required specialized winch operations and large crews to position the metal trusses in this remote mountain location.
