Un poco de historia
Before bridges were built over Suzhou Creek, citizens used ferry crossings. The first Western-designed bridge at this location was Wills' Bridge, a wooden toll bridge built in 1856 by a British businessman and an American. After public protests over tolls, the Shanghai Municipal Council built a free wooden floating bridge in 1873, known as the Soochow Creek Bridge or Garden Bridge. The current steel bridge replaced it in 1906–1908, designed by a British firm and built by the Cleveland Bridge & Engineering Company. In 1915, the governor of Shanghai was assassinated on the bridge. During the 1932 Shanghai Incident, over 600,000 Chinese refugees crossed it to reach the International Settlement.
