About
The Dongjin Bridge (simplified, traditional, pinyin: Dōngjīn Qiáo) or Jianchunmen Pontoon Bridge in Ganzhou, Jiangxi province, China is a pontoon bridge constructed over the Gong River in the Chinese Song dynasty (960–1279). Situated outside the Jianchunmen gate of the Ganzhou city wall, it is the survivor of several pontoon bridges found in China. It is roughly 400 metres long, made up of wooden planks placed on around 100 wooden boats linked together with iron chains.
