Features and location:
Located on the Dadu River in the west of Luding County, Sichuan Province, it consists of nine chains covered with wooden boards, and two chains are installed on the left and right as handrails. The chains are as thick as bowls, each of which is about150m long and weighs about one ton.
Luding Tiesuo Bridge, located on the Dadu River in the west of Luding County, is a national key cultural relic protection unit. The bridge was built in 44 years of Qing Emperor Kangxi and completed in 45 years of Emperor Kangxi (1706). Kangxi inscribed "Luding Bridge" and erected a monument at the bridge head. The bridge is103m long and 3m wide. 13 iron chains are fixed in the wells on both sides of the abutment, with 9 as bottom chains and 4 as handrails on both sides. * * * There are 12 164 iron rings interlocking, and the whole bridge is made of iron.
The bridgehead on both sides of the strait is an ancient wooden structure, which is unique and unique in China. Since the Qing Dynasty, this bridge has been an important passage and military hub for Sichuan to enter Tibet.
There are abutments on both sides of the bridge, which are 20 meters high, trapezoidal at the top and square at the bottom, and are made of stones. Behind the two abutments, there is a well with a depth of 6 meters. Each well has 7 or 8 earthworm piles made of pig iron and inserted in the bottom hole wall parallel to the bridge body. Under the earthworm pile, there is also an iron cast Wolong pile, each weighing 1800 kg.
The iron cable of Luding Bridge is fixed on these Wolong piles, and the tension of the bridge is borne by the gravity of the abutment and piles, which is extremely strong. The bridge pavilion is built on the abutment on both sides of the bridge, which can not only prevent rainwater from falling into the well, but also be the place where the government collects taxes and fees for crossing the bridge.
In the East Bridge Pavilion, there is Kangxi's "Royal Luding Bridge Monument", which describes the beginning and end of the construction of the bridge. In the west, there is a three-character tablet inscribed by Emperor Kangxi. There is Guanyin Pavilion behind the East Bridge Pavilion, which overlooks the whole city of Luding.

Tiesuo Bridge and the Long March of the Red Army;
On May 29th, 1935, the Long March of the Chinese Red Army of Workers and Peasants passed through here. Commandos led by 22 soldiers, holding boards in one hand and chains in the other, paved the bridge deck while advancing, braved the enemy's bullets and crawled along the iron chain, thus destroying the enemy at the bridgehead in one fell swoop. The Red Army then crossed the Dadu River. Luding Bridge has since become famous at home and abroad.

The full text of the poem "I stand on the iron chain bridge";
I stood on the iron cable bridge,
Chain bridge
The bridge is rocking gently.
Clouds floating over Erlang Mountain,
White waves rolled at the foot of Dadu River.
The heroic Red Army,
It's hard to live here,
Hold high the red flag and face the fire.
Warriors,
Climb up the chain,
Braving the dense hail,
Broke through the enemy's barrage!
Ah!
The buildings that fought fiercely in those days,
Now it has become a classroom for children;
Where the warriors shed their blood,
Pears are blooming all over the tree.
People are holding beautiful flowers,
Gently, gently sprinkled on this heroic land.
I stood on the iron cable bridge,
The tide is surging.
Clouds floating over Erlang Mountain,
White waves rolled at the foot of Dadu River.
Ah!
In this land of heroes,
I want to sing loudly!
