In October 1990, the Yalu River Bridge was renamed as “Bridge for the Friendship between China and Korea” by the agreement of the two countries. Visitors on the Bridge can not only see the famous scenic spots, such as the rainbow over the Bao Mountain, the clear water and the bright pavilions, the River and the boats, and the bullet holes in the Iron Bridge, but also can generally survey the scene of the cities in both countries.
