Qinghe South Bridge, Bridge in Zhangjiakou, China.
The Qinghe South Bridge crosses the Qingshui River and joins different parts of Zhangjiakou using modern construction techniques. The structure carries daily traffic of vehicles and pedestrians across the water.
The Qingshui River has been spanned at Zhangjiakou since at least the Ming dynasty, when the frontier town grew around the Great Wall pass of Dajingmen. The present Qinghe South Bridge is a modern crossing on the city's road network, carrying traffic between the river's banks in the urban core.
The bridge spans the Qingshui River, a watercourse whose name ("clear water") is shared with the Qinghe district of Zhangjiakou. Its Chinese name, Qinghe Nanqiao, places it as the southern crossing of that river, and locals use the name to distinguish it from the northern bridges over the same water.
The bridge is easy to reach on foot or by vehicle and serves many daily users. The crossing provides a reliable route when traveling across the city or heading toward the river.
The bridge carries Qinghe South Road over the Qingshui River in Zhangjiakou, a city in Hebei where the 2022 Winter Olympics skiing and snowboarding events were held at Genting Snow Park and the Nordic centre in Chongli, about 50 km to the northeast. The bridge itself is an ordinary urban road crossing, not a venue.
