务川楠木吊桥
Fenglezhen, Guizhou, China
282 feet high / 86 meters high
427 foot span / 130 meter span
2001
Hidden deep within Northern Guizhou Province, the simple Wuchuan Nanmu Footbridge opened in 2001 to allow locals to get across the 86 meter canyon of the great Fengle River. After more then a decade of deterioration and neglect the bridge was repaired to make it safe to cross. The central span is 130 meters supported by cables that have an ever greater span of 166.7 meters with one end of the bridge terminating into a cliff anchorage. On the opposite end the cable seems to be supported by a more conventional tower.
