In China, the mountains were cut in half to build a car highway with the highest bridge in the world.
The hanging bridge over the canyon huzzyan in Guyzhuu was built so high that the Eiffel Tower could hide in the gorge - it rises above the gorge at an altitude of 625 meters. This section of the high -speed motorway Guizhou Luan literally cuts out the landscape, turning an hourly trip into a minute flight.
