Aerial photo taken on Aug. 10, 2018 shows the Beipanjiang Bridge of the Hangzhou-Ruili expressway near the boundary between southwest China's Guizhou and Yunnan Provinces. With a 565-meter vertical clearance above mean high water, the cable-stayed bridge has been recognised by Guinness World Records as the world's highest bridge. In southwest China's Guizhou Province, where endless karst hills dominate the land, modern transportation is made possible thanks to more than 20,000 bridges that cross over the valleys. The province easily justifies itself as a museum of bridges: among the world's 100 highest bridges, 46 are located in Guizhou. Over the four decades since China's reform and opening-up, generations of bridge builders have created various engineering miracles while battling technological challenges on tricky terrains.
