Tumen River Bridge

The Tumen River Bridge (Chinese: 图们江大桥) is a bridge over the Tumen River, connecting Hunchun City, Jilin Province, China, with Sonbong-guyok, Rason, North Korea. It was built in 1938 by the Japanese Empire and is 535.2 metres (1,756 ft) long and 6.6 metres (22 ft) wide.^{[citation needed]} It is located at Quanhedao where the Quan River meets the Tumen River.
