Changbai–Hyesan International Bridge

The Changbai-Hyesan International Bridge extends 148 meters over the Yalu River, connecting China's Jilin Province with North Korea's Ryanggang Province.

The bridge was first built in 1936 under Japanese administration and underwent multiple reconstructions until its current structure was completed in 1985.

The bridge connects two distinct regions, with the Chinese side located in the Changbai Korean Autonomous County, where 16.9% of residents are ethnic Koreans.

Border checkpoints at both ends of the bridge process travelers and goods, making it an essential transportation link between the two neighboring countries.

The bridge serves as one of the few authorized crossing points between China and North Korea, facilitating organized tour packages since 1992.
