Jihong Bridge
霁虹桥
A European-style railway overpass completed in 1926. Its bridgeheads are capped with Egyptian-style obelisk pillars, and its wrought-iron railings have lots of character.
Jihong Bridge sits east of Harbin Railway Station. It spans the railway tracks to link Nangang and Daoli districts. Designed by Russians and completed in 1926, its two ends have pillars modeled after Egyptian obelisks. The cast-iron railings feature lion heads and the Chinese Eastern Railway emblem. It was once considered one of the urban symbols of the “Moscow of the East.” Admission is free. From the bridge, you can watch trains come and go at Harbin Railway Station. It can be combined with the station and the old buildings on Hongjun Street.
