It is said the steel were from German. Japan built up the bridge for transporting the sources between China & Korea in World War II.

So the bridge which ends in the observation deck is what remains of the original structure after it was bombed during the Korean War?

Nice history lesson, Billy. Thanks, as always.

Hi Billy.

Could have been worse.

Quote:

Gen. MacArthur was the first to work out a plan to nuke Korea (' a belt of radioactive zone') in 1950-51 and subsequent field commanders had elaborated and even mounted mock nuclear bombing raids in North Korea. In
fact, the US Military had tactical nukes ready to go in South Korea until a decade or two ago.

Sorry about that.

The N Koreans have been nothing but trouble since then, but the S Koreans have become rich beyond belief.

The USA Air bombed the Korean Bridge. They did not think that China would help the North Korean. It remains the original structure.

The people sometimes don't see the history as mirror, but still do what they like today. That is why we have the Iraq War...

The Friendship Bridge has two different parts, one left part in China, the other in North Korea. However it is an important bridge for friendship, economy, culture, politics and history.

The bridge is one life line for Korea. The train comes back from Korea. Ago you can pass though the bridge to visit N Korea. Too many people went to gamble. So Chinese goverment stopped the tour.

I don't know more about the lower picture.
