    The Duge bridge (Beipanjiang Bridge) is in Liupanshui, China. This bridge is raised 564 metres above the Beipan River in mountainous southwest China, making it the highest bridge ever built. Also, the Duke Bridge is designed by a team of Chinese engineers, the bridge has a 1,341-metre span that carries four lanes of traffic over the Beipan River.

     I have never been to Duge bridge, because I am still in America when it was open to public. But I will visit there during the summer vacation. My hometown is Hunan, China, thiere is very close to Guangzhou. During the summer vacation, my parents always drive to somewhere. In this reason, they are decided to go to Guangzhou to visit the Duge bridge. And then go through the bridge to Yunnan.
     The Duge Bridge is designed by Chinese engineer, it is also encouraged me to study hard to work for my country. And the Duge Bridge also told me that engineers made this world getting better and better.

  1. It's nice to see you want to actually help your country which is why you're pursuing a degree in engineering. Most people aren't that passionate about anything nowadays but it's nice to see some people with that passion and drive. I've never heard of the Duge bridge but it was interesting to learn about this massive bridge. I'd definitely be petrified crossing it. Nice post.
