The tunnel is about 426 meters long. From the elevator down to the end, you can walk along the tunnel to the opposite bank, take the elevator out from the opposite bank, and turn to the platform near the water. You can see the scenery of the opposite bank. On the other side, large cruise ships will also be docked. They are about 6-7 stories tall. The blue and white exterior decorations are very striking. Because you can see the scenery, it's worth walking, and you can see the Hamburg port from a long distance.

    A tunnel under the Yibei River is said to have been excavated for more than a hundred years. At that time, the conditions were very backward, but the tunnel under the Yibei River was really very powerful, very spacious and efficient.

    From the tunnel to the other side, the tunnel is nothing special. Of course, you can admire the fact that for so many years there has been no seepage. German manufacturing has faith in it. On the other side of the river, it's a good place to sit quietly on the dam and watch the boats coming and going. The clouds are light and the wind is light.

    At the end of the 19th century, the port city of Hamburg was ushering in its golden age. New docks and shipyards were expanding along the South Bank of the Yi Bei River. More than 20,000 workers could only use ferry to and from the south bank and the urban area of Hamburg. The bridge repair was denied. At that time, the navigation of the Yibei River needed a bridge 55 meters high. It was too expensive to repair. So, renovate the tunnel. In 1911, the 426.5-metre Yibei River Tunnel was put into operation, with two-way tunnels and sidewalks, with elevators at both ends bringing cars (and carriages) and pedestrians 24 metres underground. After the completion of the new Yibei River Tunnel in 1975, it was no longer important. Now, cars occasionally take advantage of this nearly 106-year-old river-crossing passage, with a one-way distance of 2 euros, more free pedestrians and bicycles, and how can there be so many tourists interested in it?

    The Yibei River Tunnel was built in 1911 and is 426 meters long under the Yibei River. Pedestrians and vehicles enter a copper dome building, take the elevator down about 20 meters and enter the tunnel. The walls of the tunnel are covered with ceramic tiles, and there will be some art exhibitions. From the Old Elbe River Tunnel, Stein Island is accessible, where most of the loading and unloading of Hamburg vessels are carried out. Crossing the Elbe River and looking back from a high place, the outline of the harbour and the city is very attractive. Built in 1911, it is a 426-meter-long tunnel under the Yibei River. Pedestrians and vehicles enter a building with a copper dome, descend by elevator about 20 meters, cross the track covered with ceramic tiles, and rise to the ground at the other end.

    The Elbe tunnel was built in 1911 and is a 426-meter long tunnel under the Elbe River. Pedestrians and vehicles enter a building with a copper circular dome, and the elevator drops about 20 meters into the tunnel, which is covered with tiles and filled with the smell of the old Elbe tunnel left by the Middle Ages.
