The Bridge on the River Kwai is also a new hot place in Changwon. Since its opening in March 2017, it has been loved so much that 700,000 people have visited in just 7 months.

The name of the bridge was taken from the movie of the same name by director David Lean, The Bridge on the River Kwai. The bridge resembles the railway bridge that British prisoners of war built in the River Kwai Valley during World War II to connect Thailand and Myanmar.

The bridge became famous in 2004 when a new bridge was built and converted to a pedestrian bridge. The reason why it is important is that the floor of the bridge is finished with tempered glass and operated as a skywalk. Above all, it is attractive that you can see the sea scenery 13.5m below while crossing the sea. At night, the LED lights shine and create a mysterious Milky Way path.
