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.
