What we are seeing now is the first bridge, also called' broken bridge'. Built in 1920, at the age of 0. It was bombed by an American plane and built by the Railway Bureau of the Governor's Office of Japan and South Korea. This is a single-track railway bridge with straight beam and slab on the deck. In the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the broken bridge was the main channel for volunteers to go abroad, and it was also the main artery for transporting strategic materials. 1950 was blown up by the American plane and became an abandoned bridge. 1993, it is open to people as a scenic spot.
The turret next to it is Japan's main defense against this bridge. This five-story turret is the best existing road defense turret in China, and it is also an ironclad proof of the Japanese invasion of China.
Less than 100 meters to our left is the second bridge, which is also the famous' Yalu River China-DPRK Friendship Bridge'. This bridge is a two-lane railway bridge. The bridge goes up along the railway and down along the highway. At that time, the deck of the expressway was paved with wooden boards, which have not been maintained since the cement board was replaced in 1977. The steel beam of Yalu River Bridge, which has not been overhauled for many years, is corroded, with more than 300 damaged pavements, and some bridge decks are displaced and broken, which weakens the bearing capacity of the bridge.
Friends, we are now in Hushan Scenic Area. Hushan Scenic Area is located along the Yalu River on the border between China and North Korea, mainly including the Great Wall, Sleeping Beauty, the one-step crossing between China and North Korea, and the ancient plank road. Among them, the most representative scenic spot is the Great Wall of Hushan.
Hushan Great Wall is located in Hushan Township, Kuandian County, Dandong City. According to research, it was built around 1469, which was the starting point of the eastern end of the Great Wall in Wan Li in the Ming Dynasty. It spans Qian Shan, the motherland, and connects Jiayuguan Great Wall in Gansu to the west. It can be called an architectural monument left by the ancients.
The Great Wall we see now was rebuilt in 1992. The restored Hushan Great Wall is mainly made of masonry. Based on the principle of "repairing the old as the old", the direction of the restored Great Wall and the positions of various towers, buttresses and beacon towers are consistent with the original site of archaeological discoveries of cultural relics, which basically reproduces the majestic posture of the Great Wall of Hushan in history.
This mountain is Tiger Mountain, an isolated mountain protruding from the Yalu River. Looking closely, it looks like a tiger sitting there, so it is named Hushan.
Now please follow me to the Great Wall. The architectural structure of the Ming Great Wall is very complete, including the city wall, city platform, enemy platform, beacon tower, gatehouse and other parts, which can basically be seen in Hushan Great Wall.
This is the peak of Tiger Mountain, the first beacon tower of the Great Wall in Wan Li in Ming Dynasty. Standing on the beacon tower, you can see the tall buildings in Dandong, Jiangcheng and Sinuiju of North Korea.
It should be said that the profound Great Wall culture deeply embodies our national spirit. As a historical monument, the Great Wall will always stand in the heart of a great nation!
Welcome to Dandong Yalu River Scenic Area again. Goodbye!
There are actually two Yalu River bridges in Liaoning, which are less than 100 meters apart. The first bridge started in May 1920 and was completed in October 1920/kloc-0.

At that time, the deck of the expressway was paved with wooden boards, which have not been maintained since the cement board was replaced in 1977. The steel beam of Yalu River Bridge, which has not been overhauled for many years, is corroded, with more than 300 damaged pavements, and some bridge decks are displaced and broken, which weakens the bearing capacity of the bridge.
The Yalu River Bridge is 946.2 meters long, of which the Chinese Bridge is 569.9 meters long. According to news reports, the bridge deck overhaul project invested more than two million yuan, which was invested by Shenyang Railway Bureau and undertaken by Dandong Works Section of Shenyang Railway Bureau. The project is closed around the clock from Thursday to Sunday at 23: 00, and the customs clearance is normal at other times. This project will be completed in late October of this year/kloc-0. After this renovation, the bearing capacity of the bridge deck will be increased from 10 ton to 20 tons.
During the maintenance of the bridge, only tourist and trade vehicles are allowed to drive from Monday to Wednesday, while the road sections are closed from Thursday to Sunday, and the railway transportation remains normal.
With the completion of the bridge and the resumption of tourism in North Korea, in order to meet the needs of tourists, Dandong Municipal Government and Dandong Border Inspection Station reported to the Ministry of Public Security for approval, allowing tourists to enter North Korea on the bridge.
The Ministry of Public Security approved that it is allowed to cross the bridge on foot, but the personal safety of tourists and the safety of the bridge must be guaranteed. At the same time, tourists are not allowed to take pictures on the bridge, and only allowed to line up side by side.
