Luolu Bridge
落炉大桥
Renhuai, Guizhou, China
541 feet high / 165 meters high
328 foot span / 100 meter span
2003
Loulu Bridge is one of the hidden gems of Guizhou Province. Lost in the mountains of Renhuai County, the small 100 meter truss-arch crosses a deep crevasse with vertical cliffs dropping nearly the full height of the Guanyinsi River gorge. The 9.5 meter wide bridge has a total length of 146 meters.
Just a few meters away is a similarly spectacular footbridge that hangs approximately 150 meters above the river. Pedestrians with a fear of heights might not want to venture across the narrow, Tibet-style suspension span with old wood planks that look like they might give way at any moment.
This dilapidated footbridge still stands 150 meters above the river. It is unknown whether it was built for workers who constructed the arch or if it was built many years earlier for the public to use.
