Zhongshan Bridge, formerly known as Zhenyuan Bridge, is commonly referred to as the 'Yellow River Iron Bridge' and also known as the 'First Bridge over the Yellow River'. This museum was built in 1907 (the 33rd year of the Guangxu reign in the Qing Dynasty). German merchants undertook the construction of this project. In 1942, in commemoration of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, it was renamed Zhongshan Bridge, and the name has been used ever since. Zhongshan Bridge has become the most important landmark in Lanzhou, attracting mostly out-of-town tourists. Currently, motor vehicles are prohibited from crossing the bridge, allowing pedestrians to freely walk from the south bank to the north bank.
