Another video showed the Ganhaizi Bridge, the world’s longest concrete tubular bridge. Built 2,500 meters above sea level, the 1,811-meter-long and 24.5-meter-wide bridge has 36 bridge spans. It boasts the world's highest steel pipe concrete lattice pier, composite pier, and hybrid bridge pier, and it is the first bridge to use steel fiber concrete as structural material. The bridge is an important part of China’s first high speed “double helix tunnel” through the mountainous Yaxi Expressway of Ya’an City in southwest China’s Sichuan province. Viewed 450,000 times, this breathtaking video was shared by over 20,000 people and received 32,000 likes.

With the rapid advancement of China’s engineering technologies, China is confident to create more marvels that benefit its people and stun the world.
