00:02 - I'm Wentao with Xinhua News Agency.
00:29 Now I'm walking on the sightseeing passage
00:31 of Badin River Bridge,
00:33 which is over 2,200 meter long
00:36 and about 370 meter above the water surface.
00:40 This bridge is also the first super bridge in Guizhou
00:44 that people can enter its interior
00:46 for tourism and sightseeing.
00:48 Due to the huge height difference
00:50 caused by the karst geological environment,
00:53 the bridge has drawn thousands of people bungee jumping
00:57 since it opened to public
00:58 in 2019.
01:00 Walking on the bridge,
01:08 I'm deeply shocked by the beautiful scenery,
01:11 the huge height difference,
01:13 and the structure of the bridge.
01:15 However, just walking on the bridge glass
01:18 can make me terrified,
01:19 let alone jumping from here.
01:21 (upbeat music)
01:24 I can clearly hear and feel
01:35 the karst running above my head,
01:38 and I can feel the shaking vibration.
01:40 But this bridge is very stable,
01:43 and it's very safe for me to walk across it.
01:46 (upbeat music)
01:49 Now, a museum on the bridge construction techniques
01:55 and relevant technologies has been built nearby,
01:59 becoming a hot spot for tourism in Guizhou province.
02:02 Tourists can learn the construction achievements of Guizhou,
02:06 the southwest China province,
02:08 with 92.5% of its land covered by mountains and hills,
02:14 have built nearly 30,000 bridges since the late 1970s,
02:19 and is now home to nearly half of the world's 112 bridges.
