−	Laoyingyan is one of 4 giant beam bridges that traverse over or along the deep Beipanjinag River valley on the Shuipan 水盘高速公路 expressway that connects the city of Liupanshui and the G56 with the G60 expressway in Shuicheng and Panxian Counties. The 816 meter long bridge has a span configuration of 85+2x160+85 +8x40 meters atop piers as high as 126 meters. Despite being only ~~175~~ meters above the ground, Laoyingyan skirts so closely to the edge of the mighty Beipanjiang River gorge that travelers have an unobstructed view of the 300+ meter drop to the river below.	+	Laoyingyan is one of 4 giant beam bridges that traverse over or along the deep Beipanjinag River valley on the Shuipan 水盘高速公路 expressway that connects the city of Liupanshui and the G56 with the G60 expressway in Shuicheng and Panxian Counties.
