Broken Bridge

Hulunbuir Hailar Broken Bridge Originally named Yimin Bridge, it was built during the Japanese occupation of Hailar. Construction started in 1933 and finished in 1935, featuring a combined reinforced concrete and steel plate girder structure. The bridge is 200 meters long and was the only permanent road bridge connecting the eastern and western sides of the Imin River in Hailar at the time.

On August 9, 1945, the Soviet army launched an offensive against the Hailar Fortress. To prevent encirclement by the Soviets, the Japanese army blew up both ends of the bridge. After this battle, the damaged bridge became known as the Broken Bridge.
