Tongmai Bridge
通麦大桥
The suspension bridge on the Sichuan–Tibet Highway where the Yigong and Parlung rivers meet. It was a landmark of the once-feared Tongmai Gorge and now stands beside the Tongmai Grand Bridge.
Tongmai Bridge sits where the Yigong Tsangpo flows into the Parlung Tsangpo, on National Highway 318. The old bridge was repeatedly washed out and rebuilt, and it was the most perilous part of the “Tongmai Gorge.” When the new Tongmai Grand Bridge and its tunnel complex opened in 2016, travel times were greatly reduced. At the end of the bridge there is a viewpoint over the confluence of the two rivers, the canyon and snowy peaks, and beside it is the exhibition hall of the Yigong National Geopark. Admission is free, and a stop of about 30 minutes is enough. Please park in designated areas and do not linger on the bridge to take photos.
