-Maotai Bridge is the third Yanjinhe River crossing and is part of a new 4-lane highway in the northernmost region of Guizhou province.  The prestressed concrete beam bridge is the highest and most recent of 3 bridges that cross the Yanjinhe in the same location.  The first was a concrete truss-arch that opened in 1995.  Similar in design to the larger and more famous Jiangjiehe arch bridge, the Yanjinhe arch span was damaged a few years after it opened and had to be closed to automobile traffic.  A second, replacement bridge came in 2007 when a 623 foot (200 mtr) span prestressed concrete beam bridge was built a half mile (one kilometer) upstream from the older arch bridge which is now only open to pedestrians.
+Maotai Bridge is the third of four high Yanjinhe River crossings and was built as part of a 4-lane highway that connects Renhuai City with the G56 expressway to the south.  The prestressed concrete beam bridge is the 2nd highest of 4 bridges that cross the Yanjinhe in close proximity.  The first was a concrete truss-arch that opened in 1995.  Similar in design to the larger and more famous Jiangjiehe arch bridge, the Yanjinhe arch span was damaged a few years after it opened and had to be closed to automobile and foot traffic.  A second, replacement bridge came in 2007 when a 623 foot (200 mtr) span prestressed concrete beam bridge was built a half mile (one kilometer) upstream from the older arch bridge which is now only open to pedestrians.  Then in 2015 the Xiaohekou bridge on the new MaoTan expressway opened as the highest Yanjinhe Bridge of all at 220 meters.

 第三座盐津河大桥位于一条4车道公路之上，地处贵州省西北地区。这座预应力混凝土梁桥是在同一地区跨越盐津河的三座大桥最高的和最新的一座桥。第一座是1995年通车的混凝土桁架拱桥，结构设计上与更大更著名的江界河拱桥相似。这座盐津河拱桥在开通后没几年就应为损坏严重而被迫关闭机动车通行。第二座替代老桥的梁桥在2007年建成，跨径200米，是一座预应力混凝土梁桥，就紧挨着坐落在的只能作为人行桥的旧拱桥的上游半英里（一公里）处。

 The renowned Guizhou Maotai alcohol factory is located in Renhuai.  The famous drink is the most consumed liquor in China with alcohol content that ranges from the standard 53 percent down to 35 percent.  The drink has a soy-sauce like fragrance that is distilled from fermented sorghum.  An observation tower shaped like a giant can sits high up over the Yanjinhe River gorge.
