Yalu River Broken Bridge
The Yalu River Broken Bridge () is a truncated railway swing bridge converted to a viewing platform and historical site. Constructed in 1911 by the Empire of Japan, it was the first bridge built across the Yalu River and connected the Chinese city of Dandong with the Korean city of Sinuiju, linking Japanese-ruled Korea to the Eurasian rail network. The bridge originally consisted of twelve truss spans supported by stone foundations in the riverbed. During the Korean War, the eight spans over the Korean side of the river were badly damaged by American bombing, and were subsequently dismantled. The bridge was not rebuilt. Instead, the remaining four spans over the Chinese side of the river were converted to a walkway, a viewing platform, and a historical site. Location and dimension The railway bridge is located in Dandong, Liaoning, China, across the Yalu River from Sinuiji, North Korea. It was a steel truss bridge long and wide, with 12 spans. Its fourth span was a swing b ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Longteng Bridge
The Longteng Bridge (), officially known as the Yutengping Bridge (), is a former bridge in Longteng Village, Sanyi Township, Miaoli County, Taiwan. History The bridge was built in 1906 during Japanese rule, and was named . It was designed by the American civil engineers Theodore Cooper and C.C. Schneider for the colonial government. Both the bridge and nearby village (modern-day ''Longteng'') were named after a local plant ''Millettia pachycarpa'' () believed to be poisonous to fish; legends believed that a malevolent carp in a nearby lake was responsible for misfortune, and residents planted the shrub to counter the carp. The original design consists of a central steel truss flanked by multiple brick masonry arch approaches. The April 1935 Shinchiku-Taichū earthquake and subsequent aftershocks in July damaged the bridge beyond repair. Several masonry arches were cracked and the north and south ends of the truss became misaligned. A new iron bridge was built in 1938, ...

Broken Bridge (Hangzhou)
