Beipanjiang Bridge Duge

北盘江第一桥

The deck sits about 565 meters above the valley floor. Once the world's tallest bridge, it spans the Beipanjiang Grand Canyon on the Yunnan–Guizhou border.

The Beipanjiang First Bridge lies at the junction of Duge Town in Shuicheng District and Xuanwei in Yunnan, on the Hangzhou–Ruili Expressway. It is a cable-stayed bridge with a deck about 565 meters above the river. When it opened in 2016, it was the tallest bridge in the world. The bridge spans the deeply incised Beipanjiang Gorge, and the scenery is dramatic. Viewing platforms and bridge-tourism spots have been built nearby, so you can look out from the bridge head or descend into the gorge to gaze up at the bridge. Stopping on the expressway deck is not allowed. To view the bridge, take the local road from the Duge Town direction. Mountain roads are winding, so drive carefully in rain or fog.
