Bridge builders create engineering miracles in Guizhou

Aerial photo taken on Aug. 27, 2018 shows the Qingshui River Bridge of the Guiyang-Weng'an expressway in southwest China's Guizhou Province. The suspension bridge is one of the world's longest with a main span of 1,130 meters. In southwest China's Guizhou Province, where endless karst hills dominate the land, modern transportation is made possible thanks to more than 20,000 bridges that cross over the valleys. The province easily justifies itself as a museum of bridges: among the world's 100 highest bridges, 46 are located in Guizhou. Over the four decades since China's reform and opening-up, generations of bridge builders have created various engineering miracles while battling technological challenges on tricky terrains.
