Century-old Grandma Bridge - Waibaidu Bridge

✅ Dominating the Shanghai Bund, the renowned 'Waibaidu Bridge' is the first all-steel riveted bridge in Chinese history, and also one of the few existing unequal height truss structure bridges. ✅ The Waibaidu Bridge was originally called 'Wills Bridge' and was built in 1856. ✅ The Waibaidu Bridge is located near the mouth of the Suzhou River into the Huangpu River, connecting Huangpu District and Hongkou District. ✅ It is not only a symbol of the city, but also carries important traffic functions. It is a witness to many famous historical events, including the famous Bund bell sound and the development of Nanjing Road pedestrian street, and frequently appears in many film and television works, becoming a symbol of Shanghai. ✅ The Waibaidu Bridge is both a witness to Shanghai's development history and a part of the new Shanghai Bund tourist landscape of the international metropolis, with the three-in-one function and important status of urban roads, history and landscape.
