[2025 Dandong Attraction] Travel Guide for Yalu River Broken Bridge (Updated Jul)

I visited the border between North Korea and China in Dandong, as the title suggests! Dandong is a city located in the northeastern region of China. I traveled there from Dalian using the high-speed rail (bullet train). 🚄 As soon as I got off the train, I noticed SWAT officers and soldiers around, which gave off a serious atmosphere. However, the city itself felt more like a relaxed tourist destination. There weren’t any Japanese tourists or even young Chinese visitors; most of the tourists were older Chinese tour groups. The border bridge is relatively close to the station and can be reached either by bus or on foot. At the ticket counter for the bridge, you don’t need to show your passport, and purchasing a ticket (20 yuan) is very smooth. You can also get tickets online through Trip.com! From the bridge, you can capture both North Korea and China in a single photo, so I highly recommend visiting. There are many souvenir shops around the bridge. While there are some near the station, I recommend shopping near the bridge for a wider variety of options. ◎ My itinerary included visiting the bridge, buying souvenirs, and dining at a North Korean restaurant, which took me just under three hours. It was definitely worth the trip! I encourage everyone to visit if you have the chance. 💰 Cost per person: 20 yuan (bridge entrance fee) 📍 Location: Dandong, 2.5 hours by high-speed rail from Dalian.

In November 1950, it was bombed by the US Air Force, becoming a witness to the vicissitudes of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. It's a pity that the fog was thick these two days, and even climbing to the top of Jinjiangshan, I couldn't get a clear shot of the other side😭, leaving a little regret.

#falltrip Dandong is a city in Liaoning Province, northeastern China, situated on the border with North Korea along the Yalu River. Dandong is a vital border city due to its proximity to North Korea. The Yalu River serves as a natural boundary, and the city has a view of the North Korean city of Sinuiju across the river. A railway bridge connects Dandong with Sinuiju and serves as a transportation link between the two countries.

This is the Yalu River Bridge in Dandong, China. If you pay the entrance fee and go up to the bridge, North Korea on the other side seems close enough to touch. Next to the bridge, you can see the Sino-North Korean Friendship Bridge, where North Korea resumed freight train service. When I imagine the horrific wartime, my heart feels heavy. It's definitely worth a visit.

The Broken Bridge of Yalu River is a must-see when traveling to Dandong. North Korea can be seen from the bridge. The Broken Yalu River Bridge is located in Dandong, Liaoning Province, China.

🇨🇳 Day 04 of the Northeast-North China Tour 🗓 2025.01.11 The Yalu River belonged to Gojoseon and Goguryeo in the distant past, and is currently the border between China and North Korea. There is a Yalu River Bridge and a railway bridge that connect them, but the bridge was destroyed in half by the US military during the Korean War. I felt good looking at the two bridges over the Yalu River in the late afternoon just before sunset, and when night fell, I came back and looked at it again. #ChinaTravelMoment #ChinaTravel #Dandong #丹东 #YaluRiver #YaluRiverBridge #YaluRiverBridge
