China opens world’s tallest bridge with a restaurant in the sky

hina has done it again. They recently launched a bridge so tall it practically touches the clouds.

After just three years and eight months of construction, the Huajiang Grand Canyon Bridge is officially open: standing 2,050 feet above the river and stretching an unbelievable 4,600 feet across.

This picture taken on September 10, 2016 shows the Beipanjiang Bridge, near Bijie in southwest China’s Guizhou province. Chinese engineers linked the two ends of the bridge on September 10, completing the structure of what is expected to become the world’s highest bridge.

To put that into perspective: it’s taller than most skyscrapers, and yes, it comes with a restaurant at the top, 2,600 feet above the canyon floor.

The Huajiang Canyon Bridge in the Chinese province of Guizhou is also the world’s longest bridge in a mountainous region.

But that’s not all. This is an adrenaline junkie’s playground. It features:

  1. Bungee jumping for the brave,
  2. A glass skywalk for those who like living on the edge,
  3. A high-speed glass elevator, and even,
  4. A waterfall cascading off the bridge itself.
The bridge has been hailed as China’s latest “infrastructure miracle”. It is designed to spur tourism and economic growth in one of the country’s least developed regions.

The bridge slashes what used to be a 2-hour drive down to just 2 minutes.

Tian Hongrui, a technician for the Huajiang Grand Canyon Bridge, told state-run CCTV News that he felt “proud to have left a mark.”

“Leaving now is bittersweet, but this isn’t the end. It’s the start of a new chapter,” he said.

This is tourism, technology, and pure human audacity rolled into one jaw-dropping landmark
