China 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.
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.
But that’s not all. This is an adrenaline junkie’s playground. It features:
- Bungee jumping for the brave,
- A glass skywalk for those who like living on the edge,
- A high-speed glass elevator, and even,
- A waterfall cascading off the bridge itself.
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.
