South Bridge of Canton-Kowloon Railway in Shilong, Railway bridge in Shilong, Dongguan, China.

The South Bridge of the Canton-Kowloon Railway is a single-track railway bridge over the southern branch of the East River in Shilong. It is 274.8 metres long and combines steel, stone, timber and concrete. The line it carried was abandoned after a new bridge opened downstream in 2007.

Construction of the South Bridge began in 1907 and it opened in 1911 as part of the Canton-Kowloon Railway, crossing the south branch of the East River at Shilong. The single-track bridge carried trains until 2007, when a new railway bridge was built a few dozen metres downstream and the old line was abandoned.

The bridge carried the Canton-Kowloon railway across the south branch of the East River until 2007, when a new bridge a few dozen metres downstream took over and the old line was abandoned. In March 2013 it was listed among the seventh batch of Major Historical and Cultural Sites Protected at the National Level, and it is the oldest surviving railway bridge in Guangdong.

The bridge is visible from outside but walking on it may not be allowed for general visitors. The best vantage point is from nearby roads or the riverbanks where you can see the steel structure clearly.

The bridge is a mixed steel, stone, timber and concrete structure 274.8 metres long, built from 1907 and fully opened in 1911. A newer railway bridge opened a few dozen metres downstream in March 2007, after which the line over the old South Bridge was abandoned and taken out of service.
