Stretching across the Huajiang Grand Canyon in Guizhou Province, southwest China, the Huajiang Canyon Bridge is currently the world's highest bridge, with its deck approximately 625 meters above the valley floor. Once a formidable obstacle for travelers, this rugged terrain is now much easier to cross thanks to new infrastructure. But there's more to this engineering feat than its record-breaking height. During construction, engineers discovered water flowing through the karst tunnels and explored ways to put it to use. Their solution now helps supply water for nearby farmland irrigation and feeds the bridge's own waterfall feature. 📺 Subscribe to our YouTube channel and stay updated with our latest analysis and interviews:👇 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgrNz-aDmcr2uuto8_DL2jg 👈 Download our APP on Apple Store (iOS): https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cctvnews-app/id922456579?l=zh&ls=1&mt=8 Download our APP on Google Play (Android): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=
