Guizhou has always been known as the "Bridge Museum". In the past, "getting straight to the point (open the door, and the mountain will come into sight first literally)" was an intuitive experience of its landforms. The traffic has changed dramatically, starting from the "bridge". Make way through mountains and bridge over water.
bridges in Guizhou are world-famous. As the only province in China without plains landform, Guizhou has erected more than 20,000 bridges on the karst plateau, creating dozens of "world-class firsts". These bridges are not only mountain roads, industrial roads, and tourist roads, but also roads for people to get rid of poverty and go to a well-off society.
Over the past 40 years of reform and opening up, tens of thousands bridges have been flying on the high hills of Guizhou, turning the moat into a thoroughfare. Behind the miracle is a portrayal of the spirit of struggle of the Chinese people.
