The Sino-Korea Friendship Bridge (also called the Sino-Korean or China-Korea Friendship Bridge) connects the cities of Dandong, China and Sinuiju|Sinŭiju, North Korea. It crosses the Yalu River, carrying pedestrian, road, and rail transport|rail traffic. The bridge is one of the few ways to enter or leave North Korea.

A nearby bridge (the "War Bridge") was built in 1909, but it was bombed and partially damaged in the Korean War around 1950 and has not been reconstructed. That bridge is now a tourism|tourist attraction on the Chinese side, with telescopes available for viewing Korea.

Trains travel over the Friendship Bridge on a daily basis. The border is relatively porous, as the governments of China and North Korea have fairly good relations. Hangul script is common on many signs in Dandong.
