With so much attention focused on the many high bridges in western China, it is nice to finally be able show the highest bridge in the eastern half of the country. Rising 466 feet (142 mtrs) is Tianchi bridge, the second highest concrete arch in China. The 673 foot (205 mtr) main span is also one of the world’s longer concrete arch spans. Tianchi may also be known as the Xingduicha bridge.

在把注意力集中在中国西部如此多的高桥之后，终于能够展示一座中国东半部的最高的桥梁了。高达142米的天池大桥，是中国第二高度的混凝土拱桥。205米的主跨也是世界最长混凝土拱桥之一。
