Built in 1910, the Zhonghan Iron Bridge is the first modern bridge on the Yellow River. The bridge was almost destroyed during a war in 1949, however it survived after an emergency repairment. It is a witness of the history of Lanzhou now.
Most people in north China believe the Yellow River is the mother river for Chinese people. In order to show their gratitude to the river, an artist carved this statue. The scene of the statue is a mother is lying on the ground, waiting for his baby coming.
Around 50 years ago, waterwheels were the major tool for irrigation for farmers in Lanzhou. The park was built to show people the old scene.
