The bridge is the world’s highest and features a unique 300-metre-long artificial waterfall fitted with a laser system, which augments its beauty at night.
Chinese engineers built the bridge not only as a transport route but also as a tourist attraction. The site offers glass walkways, cafés inside the bridge towers and activities such as bungee jumping, attracting thousands of tourists every day.
Time magazine placed the bridge at the top of its list of the best places to visit in 2026.
The Huajiang Grand Canyon Bridge is located in Guizhou province in south-western China mountainous region which often faced lengthy travel times between locations.
The bridge was built to reduce this distance, cutting a journey that once took two hours to just one minute.
The steel bridge is 9,482 feet long. Construction began in January 2022, and it was opened for public use in September 2025.
Around 20,000 tonnes of steel were used in the construction, a quantity considered equal to the steel used in three Eiffel Towers.
