Daninghe Railway Bridge is one of several spectacular crossings on the heavily tunneled Zhengzhou to Chongqing high speed railway that skirts through the mountains along the famous 3 Gorges region of Hubei and Chongqing Provinces.

The 300 meter steel arch carries a double track line high over the deep waters of the reservoir that formed from the giant 3 Gorges Dam. There are dozens of boat tours that ply up the Daning River making it easy to travel under the railway bridge.

Other big bridges include a concrete arch over the Meixi River, a 168 meter beam span over the Pengxi River, a 260 meter beam-arch over the Shennongxi and other large beam crossings over the Tangxi, Zhuyuan and Xingshan Rivers.
