Nandu River Iron Bridge, Steel truss bridge in Hainan Province, China

The Nandu River Iron Bridge extends 785.34 meters in length and 6.8 meters in width across the Nandu River with three remaining corroded trusses.

The Shimizu Group Contracting built this structure in 1942 under Imperial Japanese Army supervision during the Second Sino-Japanese War, using steel frames from Taiwan.

Local residents gather at the bridge each September 18 to commemorate its significance, while photographers and couples select it for wedding photographs.

The bridge stands partially collapsed since October 2000 when severe flooding damaged its western section, leading to its closure for safety considerations.

A cylindrical concrete guardhouse remains at one end of this structure, which was initially called Lu Palace Bridge and later nicknamed Devil's Iron Bridge.

Official opening: 1942

GPS coordinates: 19.98137,110.40549
