Yue Mei Suspension Bridge Introduction
The Yuemei Suspension Bridge, located in Tongjing Village, Sanwan Township, was built in 1929. It was originally a key route connecting Nanjuang and Sanwan to Toufen. The bridge features a steel beam structure, with a width of 4 meters and a length of approximately 150 meters. It even had tracks for handcarts used for transporting coal. At that time, it was a vital transportation artery for traffic between both banks. In 1951, after the completion of the Xihe Reservoir and the Emei Bridge above, the Yuemei Suspension Bridge was retired from service, leaving only the bridge heads and pillars standing tall on both sides. Later, a short section of steel bridge was constructed at the bridge head, supported by stay rods and the old bridge piers, extending a glass-bottomed walkway that offers a view of the riverbanks. Standing on the bridge, one can enjoy the natural scenery of the river surface, and through the glass bridge deck, see the gently flowing Emei Creek below, occasionally spotted with white egrets flying by, creating a tranquil scene that brings peace to the mind and body.
