Charming Xiangxi City 11: A rare large suspension bridge spanning the Grand Canyon.

"A bridge flies from east to west, turning a natural moat into a thoroughfare." In Xiangxi Prefecture, Hunan Province, 15 kilometers west of Jishou, there is a large suspension bridge known as the "world's first canyon crossing," the famous Aizhai Bridge in Xiangxi. It is built 335 meters above Aizhai Town, with a total length of 1,176 meters, connecting the mountains on both sides of Jishou and Chadong, spanning the Aizhai Grand Canyon, and stretching like a rainbow. Xiangxi self-driving, Aizhai Bridge, a must-see. ❤Recommended reason: This magnificent large suspension bridge in the Wuling Mountains has created many firsts in the history of bridge construction. To this day, it is still a pride in the history of bridge construction in China. The main span of Aizhai Bridge is 1,176 meters long and is a tower-beam separated suspension bridge. There is not a single pier in the main span of more than 1,000 meters. The bridge spans the Dehang Grand Canyon, with a height difference of 355 meters from the bridge deck to the bottom of the valley. The huge height difference makes the Aizhai Bridge seem to hang in the clouds. Among the many super bridges in China, there are not many bridges that can be visited inside the bridge. Aizhai Bridge allows you to enter the interior of the bridge and walk from one end of the bridge to the other. When you walk at a height of more than 350 meters, you can casually browse the beautiful scenery of the Dehang Grand Canyon under your feet.
