Spanning the Yangtze River in Jiangsu Province on the Chinese mainland, the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge has stood as an engineering milestone since its completion in 1968.
As the first bridge over the Yangtze fully designed by engineers from the Chinese mainland, it introduced a double-deck layout – highway lanes above and railway tracks below – that reshaped transport and marked a leap forward in domestic infrastructure.
More than just a crossing, the bridge became a symbol of ambition. Its unique design connected Nanjing's urban core to key trade routes, supporting waves of economic growth and cultural exchange across regions.
Today, visitors, tech enthusiasts, and history buffs can experience this living landmark in real time. Whether you're catching a train under its arches or walking across its upper deck at sunrise, the bridge offers a glimpse into decades of innovation and perseverance.
