An aerial drone photo taken on Sept. 5, 2024 shows the Daxiaojing grand bridge on the expressway linking Pingtang and Luodian in southwest China's Guizhou Province. In recent years, Guizhou Province has strived to upgrade its transportation system with an eye toward modernity and connectivity. Currently, more than 30,000 bridges have been built or are under construction in the province.
Today, Guizhou boasts about half of the world's 100 highest bridges. Some not only help shorten travel time from major cities to scenic spots but also become tourist attractions. (Xinhua/Liu Xu)
