The total cost of the entire project is more than 300,000 taels of silver. Looking from afar, the winding Yellow River not far away adds a lot of color to the industrial city of Lanzhou. In ancient times, this was the only place the Silk Road passed through, controlling the transportation hubs of the Hexi Corridor, Qinghai, and Ningxia. After the Western Han Dynasty, the Yellow River froze several feet thick in severe winters, and carriages and horses could pass on it, commonly known as the Ice Bridge. History says that the road to Shaanxi can be sweet or cold, but the Lanzhou Floating Bridge; if the enemy builds a bridge on this basis, Hexi will be isolated and it will be difficult to repay. In summer, the river surges and bridges are often washed away. In winter and spring, the ice collapses and bridges are often destroyed.

There are four piers under the bridge, with cement iron pillars at the bottom and stones at the top. The second pier in Henan is the deepest, with the bottom 17 feet above the water. One day spent more than 306,000 taels of silver. The project is undertaken by a foreign company from Germany, Commercial and Thailand, but the material transportation and construction are all undertaken by our country. People from all over the world traveled thousands of miles on camels and wheeled carts to transport bridge construction materials from Tianjin and other places in the East, and finally built the first iron bridge on the Yellow River. This iron bridge was reinforced in 1919
