The Tumen Border Bridge (Chinese: 图们国境大桥) is a bridge over the Tumen River, connecting Tumen City, Jilin Province, China, with Onsong County (Namyang), North Hamgyong Province, North Korea. [1] It was built in 1941 by the Japanese and is 515 metres long, 6 metres high, 6 metres wide. Tumen Border Post is located there. A little upstream from the bridge is Tumen Border Railway Bridge.
During the Korean War, it was one of the border posts from which the Chinese People's Volunteer Army entered North Korea. [2]
