Located in the province of Guizhou, the Huajiang Grand Canyon Bridge towers over the Beipan River — cutting down travel time across the canyon from two hours to just two minutes.

In 2016, China opened the Duge Bridge in the province of Guizhou. Looming 1,854 feet above the river below, the Duge Bridge was named the world’s highest bridge. But now, China has opened a new, even higher bridge — the Huajiang Grand Canyon Bridge — that now stands as the tallest bridge in the world.

At 2,050 feet high (and also located in the Guizhou province), this bridge more than shatters the record previously held by Duge Bridge. It’s part of a wider anti-poverty initiative in China, and already promises to transform life for locals.
