5/5
中山桥原名兰州黄河铁桥,桥长234米,宽7.5米,为一座有六墩五孔的钢桁架+弧形钢架结构桥。甘肃省著名书法家黎泉书“黄河第一桥”五个大字,欹侧方棱,苍劲浑穆,尽显大师风范。中山 桥是 中国 近代史上, 甘肃 人自主、自愿与西方人进行纯经济、技术上合作的一座桥梁。然而,其建设过程并非一帆风顺,期间多有摩擦,经过多方据理力争,最终建成,并运行一百年后依然巍然屹立在黄河之上。作为黄河上修建最早和唯一保存至今的近现代钢架梁桥, 中山 桥已集使用、历史和文物价值于一身。它就像一部史诗,飧刻着 兰州 古往今来历史的变迁,展示了 兰州 人民灿烂艺术的画卷,光绪三十二年(1906)九月十一日, 甘肃 洋务总局与 德国 泰来 洋行正式签订黄河铁桥包修合同;全部建桥材料于光绪三十三年(1907)从 德国 海运到 天津 ,再从 天津 转运至 兰州 。从 天津 到 兰州 的数千里路途上,一条由火车、骡马组成的运输长龙,翻山跃岭,风餐露宿,历时近两年,终于将全部材料一站站转运至 兰州 。经过华洋工匠共同努力,铁桥于宣统元年(1909)八月十九日竣工投运。宣统二年(1910)四月二十五,陕甘总督长庚就铁桥工程用款上奏宣统皇帝称,包括包修价、运输价及各项支出费用,铁桥“实用库平银三十万六千六百九十一两八钱九分八厘四毫九丝八忽”,1928年,为纪念孙 中山 先生,由当时的 甘肃 省主席刘郁芬手书的“ 中山 桥”匾额,悬挂于铁桥南面的牌厦上,“第一桥”从此改名 中山 桥,沿用至今;1989年铁桥保固期满后 德国 有关方面曾致函 兰州 市政府,在询问铁桥状况的同时,申明合同到期。中山 桥的北岸有白塔山公园。远处,白塔寺中的白塔隐约可见,站在 中山 桥上向西远眺黄河景色。清·张澍《闲游黄河岸》一片孤城枕石关,河流飞入断云间。滔滔东去谁能挽,赖有 龙门 底柱山
