-This gargantuan suspension footbridge was constructed for workers to access both sides of the river gorge.  With a main span of 540 meters this is the longest Tibet-style footbridge ever built exceeding the length of even the Brooklyn Bridge.  Only the Dimuhe construction footbridge to the south was nearly as large with a main span of 510 meters.  They are also the first two footbridges in the world to be higher then 200 meters.
