Tumen River Bridge

The 538-meter Tumen River Bridge connects Quanhe in Jilin Province, China with Wonjong in Rason, North Korea across the Tumen River.

The original bridge was constructed in 1938 during the Japanese Empire period, measuring 535 meters in length and 6 meters in width.

The Tumen River Bridge represents a connection point between Chinese and Korean societies, marking a physical intersection of two distinct civilizations.

The bridge functions as a primary transportation route and border control checkpoint, processing vehicles and pedestrians traveling between China and North Korea.

A new parallel bridge structure, completed in 2016 with Chinese funding, features four traffic lanes and spans 638 meters alongside the original crossing.
