Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge
南京长江大桥
The first domestically designed double-deck road and rail bridge over the Yangtze, opened in 1968. Visitors can climb the bridgehead towers and watch the river from the road deck.
The Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge was China's first double-deck road and rail bridge designed and built domestically. Roads run on the upper deck and railway on the lower, and the main span is about 1.6 km long. The 'Three Red Banners' sculpture and the group statue of workers, peasants and soldiers atop the north and south bridgehead towers carry strong period character. After renovation in 2018, the south tower opened as the Bridge Memorial Museum. You can take the elevator to the top or walk the deck for views. Admission to the bridge park is about CNY 15, with the museum charged separately. The river at sunset and the bridge lights in the evening are most photogenic. Take a bus to Daqiao South Road.
