This is newest video of Longjiang Expressway Bridge opened 3 months ago
Longjiang Bridge on S10 Provincial Expressway
Yunnan Province, Southwest China
dubbed as "the bridge in the cloud"
Longjiang Bridge 龙江大桥
Wuhexiang, Yunnan, China
958 feet high / 292 meters high
3,924 foot span / 1,196 meter span
http://www.highestbridges.com/wiki/index.php?title=Longjiang_Bridge
The Longjiang River is the largest obstacle along the S10 Baoteng spur expressway that branches off from the G56 to the city of Tengchong in western Yunnan Province. To get across the 300 meter deep river gorge, the engineers have designed the longest span high bridge on earth with a tower to tower distance of 3,924 feet (1,196 meters) - nearly as long as the Golden Gate Bridge. Longjiang surpassed the distance of both Aizhai and Balinghe Bridges which previously held the long span record honors among the world's highest bridges.
The Longjiang crossing is also unique among China's big mountain suspension bridges with a thin steel box girder deck that breaks away from the traditional truss deck used on earlier bridges like Siduhe, Balinghe, Lishuihe and Aizhai. Yunnan's Puli Bridge also has a steel box deck. The tallest tower on Longjiang Bridge measures 167 meters in height.
The inauguration day
First standard expressway in the minority-dominated Tengchong County

A small village of Liupanshui City and Qingshui Bridge
Guizhou Province, Southwest China
A drone & bridge fan tried to make a drone video about Qingshui Bridge in rural Guizhou Province.
He accidentally stepped into a small village on top of a mountain. No tourists have ever entered that village before.
This village may not seem wealthy or fancy like other tourist villages, but he described it as the most beautiful village he has ever visited, as it is tourism-free and local villagers are the most hospitable. They offered him the best food they could offer! The surrounding rice terrace and deep valley are simply gorgeous.
Qingshui bridge located in Shuicheng county of Liupanshui City, western Guizhou, is a part of Shuihuang highway (from Shuicheng to Huangguoshu). With a span of 150m span and a height of 147m, if it is not located in China, the bridge will join Top 50 highest bridges and Top 10 highest archs in the(outside China) world. This bridge crosses a very narrow gorge surrounded by limestone mountains. Inside the gorge, we can see from this video there are 2 creeks coming from different directions.
