Perhaps the most thrilling destination of our 9-day tour was the visit to the Huajiang Canyon Bridge. It stands at 625 meters high (2,050 feet) and is 2,890 meters long. It was opened in September 2025 and dramatically reduces crossing times over the canyon from two hours to just two minutes!
We were told that we could walk "under" the bridge while traffic goes over the top and after we recorded our individual visitors' number (I was the 188,344th visitor!), we began the long trudge. There is a small section halfway along the bridge which has a glass bottom - and that's when a few of us tested our guts and walked without trying to look down! Of course being faint hearted, I avoided this section but my aunt steeled herself and walked a short distance to the cheers of our group!
We also witnessed someone doing a bangee jump; it was, to say the least, frightening and made my heart skip a beat considering the height of the bridge!
