The highest bridge on the one track railway line between Zhijin and Bijie in Guizhou Province, the giant Jiagaihe Railway Bridge is also one for the record books with a giant main span of 192 meters that tied the Niujiaoping Railway Bridge as the longest concrete railway beam span in the world of 192 meters. Portugal's Ponte S. João Railway Bridge over the River Douro is longer at 250 meters but it is unclear whether that span carries full size locomotives or only light rail. Both of these 192 meter railway bridges will be surpassed by at least one giant beam bridge on the rail line between Kunming and the Vietnam border

Much of the great height of the Liuchong River gorge is hidden beneath a deep reservoir.
