Yanwu Bridge, Bridge in Siming District, China.

Yanwu Bridge spans roughly 2.2 kilometers across Xiamen Port, connecting the port area with the waterfront street in Siming District. It consists of multiple spans about 26 meters wide, with sections that cross over water and sections that connect the surrounding streets.

Yanwu Bridge opened to traffic on 6 September 2003, built at a total cost of 560 million yuan. It runs 2.2 km from the naval dockyard on the southwest corner of the Island Ring Road to Baicheng at Xiamen University, and comprises the main span plus the Chenggong Avenue, Yanwu and Baicheng interchanges.

The bridge's name comes from Yanwu, the military drill ground of Zheng Chenggong's troops nearby. Its white fish-belly girders and oval piers were painted white, and to keep the coastal view open the lighting is fixed to the railings without lamp posts. The low section has a deck only 5.5 metres above the sea.

The bridge is easy to walk across and provides a direct way to cross the port area or move between districts on foot. Observation platforms are positioned along the route, offering spots to stop and take in views of the bay and nearby islands during your visit.

The bridge offers views of Gulangyu Island, known for its colonial buildings and car-free streets just across the water. Visitors often discover from the observation platforms how the island's layout and architecture stand out from the mainland surroundings.
