Jiefang bridge

The steel bridge spans across the Hai River with a mechanical system that lifts to allow maritime vessels to pass underneath.

Built in 1927 during the foreign concessions period, the bridge connected different international settlements and became a symbol of industrial advancement.

The structure represents the meeting point between Chinese and Western engineering influences in early 20th century infrastructure development.

The bridge operates continuously throughout the year, enabling both vehicle traffic and pedestrian access while maintaining regular maritime navigation schedules.

The surrounding financial district earned the nickname 'China's Wall Street' due to the concentration of banks and trading houses near the bridge.
