Renmin Gongyuan Bridge, or People's Park Bridge, in Chongchuan district, Nantong, East China's Jiangsu province, was established in the later period of the Republic of China (1912-1949) and connects with the People's Park of Nantong Museum.
The bridge was reconstructed twice. In 1964, the wooden bridge was rebuilt into a five-meter-wide reinforced concrete bridge, and several decades later it was upgraded to a three-span continuous steel bridge with a broad floor.

Gray and red are typical of the Renmin Gongyuan Bridge's palette and old-fashioned streetlamps illuminate the bridge, giving it a classical Chinese atmosphere.
Both sides of the bridge are lined with leafy trees, offering great views.
On hot summer days, the Renmin Gongyuan Bridge is a great place to stay cool, go fishing or simply enjoy scenic views of the Haohe River.
