Introduction

Zhongshan Bridge, located in front of Jincheng Pass, under the White Pagoda Hill in the north of Lanzhou city, is one of the famous buildings in Lanzhou. Standing on the bridge, visitors can have an aerial view of the clouds above the White Pagoda. As the oldest ancient bridge in Lanzhou with a history of more than a century and the first bridge over the Yellow River, Zhongshan Bridge was designed by Americans Max Bohnstedt and Germans Erich Paulun and constructed with materials from Germany. Due to its great historical and cultural value, motor vehicles are now prohibited on the bridge to ensure the safety of pedestrians and tourists, as well as the protection of cultural relics.
