However, its construction process is not smooth, during the period of friction, after many reasons to strive, finally built, and still stand on the Yellow River 100 years after operation. As the earliest and only modern steel beam bridge built on the Yellow River to date, Zhongshan Bridge has been used, historical and cultural relics value in one. It is like an epic, engraved with the changes in Lanzhou's history from ancient to modern times, showing the paintings of Lanzhou people's brilliant art, Guangxu 32 (1906) September 11, Gansu Foreign Affairs General Administration and Germany Tailai Foreign Bank officially signed the contract for the repair of the Yellow River Iron Bridge; All bridge construction materials were shipped from Germany to Tianjin in Guangxu in 1907, and then transferred from Tianjin to Lanzhou. Thousands of miles from Tianjin to Lanzhou, a long haul of trains and horses, over the mountains and mountains, wind food and sleep, took nearly two years, and finally transferred all the materials to Lanzhou. After the joint efforts of Huayang craftsmen, the iron bridge was completed and put into operation on August 19, 1909, in Xuantong.

    When you come to Lanzhou, you must go to the Yellow River to see. The Yellow River Iron Bridge is coming. There are a lot of people and the scenery is very good. I just didn't find a place to make a ferry. The sightseeing cruise is a bit expensive and I don't think it's worth it. Opposite is Baitashan Park because of time, I took a photo on the bridge to make a memorial.
