Shuaiwanzi Border Bridge

Shuaiwanzi Border Bridge, named after Shuaiwanzi Village in Ying'an Township, was built in 1938. In 1945, as Japanese troops withdrew from Northeast China, the Soviet Red Army blew up one span of the bridge’s middle section to cut off their retreat. The bridge is 486.5 meters long, 6.5 meters wide, and has 32 spans.

In addition to the border road bridge that connects here with North Korea, there is also a railway bridge linking the two sides. However, in August 1945, after Japan's surrender and the entry of the Soviet Red Army, all the iron girders of this bridge were dismantled. Today, only a row of bridge piers remains standing in the Tumen River, bearing witness to the history of the past.
