Staying home and watching the world, focusing on: Streetlamp Photography, sharing beautiful landscapes from travels every day. Bridges, opening channels across canyons and ravines, giving humans wings to reach distant dreams. However, it's not easy to build bridges in deep mountains and valleys; they are the crystallization of countless people's wisdom and sweat. The Wanzai Bridge in Hunan Province, China, is one such 'cloud ladder' – a wondrous architectural marvel.
Wanzai Bridge is a high-speed road section within the Xiaojie Autonomous County of Hunan Province, located above the Deang Valley. 'The sky is the largest painting, painting mountains, water, and a long rainbow.' This perfectly describes the Wanzai Bridge.
Many tourists visiting Ji Shi City, Hunan Province, will specifically come here to admire the Wanzai Bridge because it's only 20 kilometers from Ji Shi City. This bridge once created four world firsts: the longest steel truss-suspension bridge span across a valley; a unique 'rail-cable moving method' which was world's first; the first time employing a scheme of completely separating tower and beam; and the world's first application of rock-anchor suspending cables, using carbon fiber as pre-stressed tendons.
Some have rated this place as one of the ten must-visit new landmarks in the world – and rightly so. Without this 'sky bridge', how could humans cross the precipitous valley below? The Wanzai Wonder – a stunning gorge with deep valleys – also offers abundant outdoor adventure and exploration resources. The bridge itself is a scenic and perilous sight.
As you pass over the bridge, you look up and see clouds swirling around, while beneath your feet, beautiful Miao villages flow. Nature presented humans with a challenge, and humans, with their ingenuity, gave nature a beautiful answer. A 'journey' across the bridge brings a certain life lesson. The beautiful scenery of Wanzai has long been a destination longed for by countless people, but few have ventured into its ruggedness. The Wanzai Bridge showcases its magnificent and spectacular scenery in detail.
The main span length of the Wanzai Bridge in Hunan Province ranks third in the world and first in Asia. An 8-shaped curve forms nearly parallel roads – a deserving wonder of world highway history.
A 'sky bridge' transforms a 'pass' into an 'open road'. This 'sky bridge' is stunning and admirable of the workers' wisdom. Looking from afar, the Wanzai Bridge seems to be traversing the clouds, a magnificent spectacle. Standing within it, you feel like you're in a paradise. It's a place that drives photographers crazy – the bridge hides in the clouds, like a dream.
The Wanzai Bridge spans between two peaks, like a steel dragon. This magnificent scenery will make your heart move. Follow: Streetlamp Photography, let's see the world together.
