Shenhe Bridge Anti-Japanese War Memorial Park
深河桥
The turning point where the 1944 Qiannan Incident halted the Japanese advance northward; the site preserves a wartime bridge and memorial hall in the Mawei direction of Dushan County.
In December 1944, Japanese forces invaded Dushan in Guizhou. Chinese Nationalist forces engaged them around Shenhe Bridge and blew up the bridge, after which the Japanese withdrew. The episode is known as the Qiannan Incident, and Shenhe Bridge became one of the farthest points reached by Japanese forces advancing in southwest China during the war. The memorial park preserves the original bridge site, a restored old bridge, an anti-Japanese War memorial hall and a monument. Admission is free, though the hall may close on Mondays. The park is about 40 km from Duyun, roughly 40 minutes by expressway, and can be combined with a visit to Dushan County town.
Opening hours
About 09:00–17:00 (memorial hall)
