Doushanba is the second biggest and highest beam bridge on the Anjiang Expressway between Weng'an and the Jiangkou Expressway. The main span of 150 meters is fairly average for a bridge this size but the central pier is one of the tallest in central Guizhou with a shaft dropping 145 meters to the valley floor.

Several kilometers west is the even larger and higher Kaixiahe Bridge with a main span of 220 meters across a canyon 220 meters deep.
