Cunjin Bridge Park is located in the prefecture-level city Zhanjiang, China. As one of the largest parks in Zhanjiang, it is a popular tourist destination and is included in the old Zhanjiang Eight. Cunjin Bridge Park is named after the Cunjin Bridge which was built in 1925 to commemorate Zhanjiang People’s resistance against French invasion in 1898. “Cunjin” (寸金), this word contains the meaning that an inch land of Chinese national territory is worth an inch of gold and we Chinese do not allow any foreign encroachment on our territory. An anti-French hero statue is erected at the center square of the park.
