Zhongshan (Sun Yat-sen) Bridge

Popularly known as the Zhongshan Iron Bridge or the Yellow River Iron Bridge, it is located at the foot of Baitashan Hill and the middle section of Binhe Road in Lanzhou. It is the old est bridge in Lanzhou and the first bridge ever built across the Yellow River.

The bridge is 233.33 meters long and 7.5 meters wide. It is a five-arch bridge resting on five piers.

Formerly, there was no bridge on the Yellow River. At the suggestion of Peng Yingjia, magistrate of Lanzhou Circuit, Shengyun, governor of Gansu, decided to build an iron bridge over the Yellow River with public fund. The project was contracted to a German firm. Construction began in February 1907 and was completed in June 1910.
