Across the shimmering expanse of the Pearl River Delta stands the Dongjin Bridge, a testament to ancient Chinese engineering. Here, outside the Jianchunmen gate of the Ganzhou city wall, the Dongjin Bridge, also known as the Jianchunmen Pontoon Bridge, stretches approximately 400 meters. Imagine a bridge not of solid stone or steel, but of boats! The Dongjin Bridge rests upon around 100 wooden boats linked by sturdy iron chains. These boats support a roadway of wooden planks, creating a floating pathway over the Gong River. This pontoon bridge is a rare survivor of a type of bridge once common in China, a unique piece of Song Dynasty history dating back to a time between 960 and 1279. The Dongjin Bridge stands as a remarkable example of ingenuity, a bridge that floats, a connection to the past, right here in Ganzhou.
