If you’re afraid of heights, you might want to find an alternate route. At 565 meters tall (1,854 feet), the Beipanjiang Bridge soars high above a gigantic valley between two mountains in southwest China.
It took three years to build and cost around $140 million. It’s only five meters higher than another sky-high overpass in China — the Sidu River Bridge — but it was enough to make the Beinpanjiang the tallest bridge in the world.
