China already stunned the world with the Duge Bridge in 2016, rising 1,854 feet (565 meters)
above the river in Guizhou. And now, the province has unveiled an even greater feat: the Huajiang Grand Canyon Bridge, officially the tallest bridge on Earth.
Stretching across the Beipan River, it slashes travel time from two hours to just two minutes. More than an engineering marvel, the bridge is part of China’s push to fight poverty, promising to improve daily life for local communities.
As the bridge redefines what’s possible in modern engineering, its story is just beginning. Click through the gallery to see how this record‑breaking wonder is transforming the region.
