It was initially named "Lanzhou Yellow River Iron Bridge" and later renamed "Zhongshan Bridge". All bridge building materials were transported from Germany to Tianjin by sea in the 33rd year of Guangxu (1907), and then transferred from Tianjin to Lanzhou by the Gansu Westernization Bureau. The engineers who built the bridge were Man Baoben, an American, and De Luo, a German. The construction leader was Liu Yongqi, a Tianjin native. The construction personnel are mainly 69 foreign workers and Chinese craftsmen employed by German merchants. It took 3 years to complete. The cost is more than 36000 taels of silver. It is called "the first bridge of the Yellow River in the world". Zhongshan Iron Bridge is 234 meters long and 7.5 meters wide. In old China, it was listed as the three major bridges on the Yellow River along with Jinan Daokou Iron Bridge and Zhengzhou Iron Bridge. In 1942, it was renamed Zhongshan Bridge in memory of Dr. Sun Yat sen and has been used since then.
