Ji'an Yalu River Border Railway Bridge

The steel railway bridge stretches 589 meters across the Yalu River, featuring a single track that connects the railway networks of China and North Korea.

Japanese engineers completed the construction of this international railway bridge in 1939 during Japan's control over Korea and northeast China through Manchukuo.

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.

Freight trains regularly cross this border point, requiring specific documentation and authorization from both Chinese and North Korean authorities for passage.

The bridge survived multiple bombing attempts during the Korean War while maintaining its role as a vital transportation link between the two nations.
