Tumen River Bridge
The Tumen River Bridge (Chinese: 图们江大桥) is a bridge over the Tumen River, connecting Hunchun City, Jilin Province, China, with Sonbong-guyok, Rason, North Korea. It was built in 1938 by the Japanese Empire and is 535.2 metres (1,756 ft) long and 6.6 metres (22 ft) wide.[citation needed] It is located at Quanhedao where the Quan River meets the Tumen River.
In February 1997, tourist access across the bridge was allowed.[1] A new bridge over the Tumen River is currently in the planning stage.[2]
