Wanding Bridge & Border Culture Park
畹町桥·畹町边关文化园
The old bridge where the Burma Road leaves China. During the War of Resistance, large quantities of aid supplies entered China here. Nearby are the Stilwell Road monument and the Border Culture Park.
Wanding lies about 30 km east of Ruili and was the gateway through which the Burma Road and the Stilwell Road entered China. During the War of Resistance against Japan, it was a vital artery for transporting supplies. Wanding Bridge spans the Wanding River, which forms the China–Myanmar border. The Sino-Indian Road opened in 1945 with a ceremony held here. At the bridgehead are the monument to the Chinese section of the Stilwell Road, the Wanding city symbol, the China–Myanmar Friendship Memorial Hall and the Border Culture Park. Entry is free, but you may not cross the border on the bridge. It can be combined with the Memorial Park of the Overseas Chinese Mechanics for a half-day tour.
