The highest bridge in China’s Guangdong province, the Dubu Bridge #1 is a six span prestressed concrete beam bridge with a maximum span length of 410 feet (125 mtrs). The well proportioned piers split into two about halfway up. Maximum pier height is 361 feet (110 mtrs).

Not to be confused with the above bridge, Dubu Bridge #2 is a seven span prestressed beam bridge that curves along the slope of a mountain with a maximum span length of 328 feet (100 mtrs). Maximum pier height is 302 feet (92 mtrs). A long tunnel separates the two structures. You can see a bit of the first bridge and more of the second during the first minute of this video taken by a bus passenger: http://www.tudou.com/programs/view/LESdFORTExI/
