The Daqinggou Railway Bridges are one of a dozen major high level bridges along the HSR line between Wanzhou and Chongqing. The main span is 80 meters and the viaduct parallels the older Daqinggou Railway Bridge along the Yu-Li Railway line.

There are actually 4 new Daqinggou Railway Bridges completed in 2026 with spans of 80 and 56 meters. The fifth Daqinggou Railway Bridge was built in 2013 for the Yu-Li Railway line and is 79 meters high with spans of around 32 meters.

The most spectacular bridges along the route cross over the Caijiagou and Xinqiao creeks and rank among the largest railway viaducts on earth. They parallel the original Caijiagou and Xinqiao viaducts on the older Yu-Li Railway line that goes east across the Yangtze near Fuling city before traveling east into Hubei Province.
