-The bridge was the first of what will eventually be an astonishing 7 Bei Pan River crossings that rank among the World's 100 highest.  No other river on earth outside of China has more then one high bridge over it.  The last of these 7 super high spans will be breaking records when it opens in 2015.  Check back to HighestBridges.com soon for announcements!  Image by Eric Sakowski / HighestBridges.com

-A huge footbridge was built across the gorge to allow bridge workers access to both sides of the arch construction. With a maximum vertical deck to water distance of 650 feet / 198 meters, this is the highest catenary footbridge ever built. Despite its dilapidated condition, I ventured across the chicken wire walkway. Travel mates Roger Perrin and Georges thought I was a bit crazy.  Image by Eric Sakowski / HighestBridges.com
