About About the place

Hanjiang River is a significant waterway in Chaozhou, historically serving as a vital transportation route for local residents and overseas Chinese. The river is most famous for the Guangji Bridge, an innovative structure built using boats as a floating bridge, a solution necessitated by the need for a bridge that could be opened for larger vessels. Today, the bridge offers a pedestrian walkway with a small entry fee, and the riverbanks, particularly Binjiang Gallery, provide pleasant views and a relaxing atmosphere. The river holds cultural importance, with stories of past pavilions and a surviving water buffalo statue adding to its historical charm.

Tips by Locals

Accessibility

The bridge's boat-based construction presents accessibility challenges. The walkways may not be fully level, and access for wheelchairs or strollers could be difficult. The surrounding riverfront areas may offer more accessible paths, but it's advisable to check conditions beforehand.

Kid friendly

The bridge may not be ideal for very young children or those in strollers due to the uneven surface and potential crowding. However, the riverfront areas offer open space for walking and exploring. There are no dedicated kid-specific facilities.

Pet friendly

Pets are generally not allowed on the bridge.

Food facilities/restaurants/cafes

There are restaurants and cafes located near the riverfront, particularly along Binjiang Gallery. Restrooms are available in the surrounding areas.
