Aizhai Bridge in Hunan province is 336 m (1,102 ft.) high and has a 1,176 m (3,858 ft.) span.

It connects two traffic tunnels in the mountains, cutting the time needed to traverse the canyon from 30 minutes to 1.

Construction took five years.

Work finished at the end of last year, making it the world's longest and highest suspension bridge.
