Built in 1976, the Park Overpass spans the railway and links Gushan and Yancheng. The city government preserved 38 sections of old railway tracks, transforming them into the “Hamasen Railway Cultural Park.” Together with the Yancheng’s Pier-2 Art Center, it has become a shining new landmark of the railway park.
