The Hongshuihe Railway Bridge Huangbai is the longest span railway-only arch bridge in existence and one of the 10 longest arch bridges in the world with a main span of 570 meters. Located along the Huangbai Railway line from Huangtong to Baise, this section is part of the larger Longchang to Baise Railway that has been under construction for over 20 years. The giant 938 meter long Hongshuihe crossing is the final link in the Huangtong to Baise section completing a route that now allows the Sichuan basin to connect with seaports in southern Guangxi Province.

The Hongshuihe Railway Bridge Huangbai has nearly half its full height hidden beneath the reservoir that formed behind the Longtan Dam located more than 100 kilometers downstream.
