Ji'an Yalu River Border Railway Bridge
Ji'an Yalu River Border Railway Bridge, Railway border bridge across Yalu River between Ji'an, China and Manpo, North Korea.
Description
This railway bridge spans the Yalu River between Ji'an in China and Manpo in North Korea over a distance of 589 meters. A single track connects the rail networks of both countries and carries freight between them.
History
Japanese engineers built this bridge in 1939 when Japan controlled Korea and the Manchukuo region. It became a critical link in the regional rail network of that era.
Culture
The bridge holds different names in local languages, known as 集安鸭绿江国境铁路大橋 in Chinese and 집안압록강국경철도대교 in Korean, reflecting its cross-border nature.
Practical
Freight trains use this border crossing regularly, requiring certificates and clearance from both countries. You can view the bridge from either side, though access to the track itself is restricted.
Did you know?
The structure endured multiple attacks during the Korean War but was quickly repaired and returned to service. This demonstrates how essential border infrastructure proves resilient even under extreme conflict.
