Located in Qinglong County, within the Qianxinan Buyi and Miao Autonomous Prefecture in Guizhou Province, the Panjiang Bridge is nestled amidst the deep mountains and canyons of the Beipan River Basin. Formerly known as the “Steel Cable Bridge,” it was constructed in 1628 during the first year of Emperor Chongzhen’s reign in the Ming Dynasty.

This bridge has been referred to as the “Gateway to Yunnan and Guizhou.” Panjiang Bridge serves as a historical route for resistance during Japan’s aggression. It functioned as a crucial transportation artery for materials needed for wartime preparations. Although it suffered destruction due to warfare, it has been rebuilt multiple times over its history. The bridge stands as a testament to the resilient spirit of the Chinese nation.
