Try this!Ones shared by @AndrewJin are definitely more scary. That entirely glass bridge in Zhangjiajie that seems like going nowhere?
Huashan is one of five most sacred mountains in China for over 4000 years. Huashan cliff planks were first built in Yuan dynasty (13th century) by Taoist priests, located behind it's main peak——south peak, facing the canyon more than 1000m deep. Now iron chain and safe rope have been added.
Not for @cirr

This expressway, from Beijing in the North to Kunming in Southwest is indeed an epic project.
However, not a single expressway can beat Guizhou Province's crazy expressway network!
Probably the new expressway that will link Ya'an to Xinduqiao (ultimately to Lhasa) can make a new record.

Introducing one of the most beautiful river bridges in my city
Yingwuzhou Yangtze River Bridge
Wuhan City, Central China
Yingwuzhou Yangtze River Bridge
The Yingwuzhou Yangtze River Bridge (Chinese: 鹦鹉洲长江大桥) is a highway bridge over the Yangtze River in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China. It is one of the longest suspension bridges in the world with two consecutive 850 m (2,790 ft) spans. The bridge cost 3.08 billion yuan to build and opened on December 28, 2014.
Yingwuzhou literally means "parrot island", a famous island that was mentioned many times in Tang dynasty poems, but has now been part of Hanyang due to the redirection of the river.

@AndrewJin
The GDP per capita is $5900 for Linyi prefecture city. I assume it would be higher in the metro area.
Looks to me that $5900 is a bit low for the coastal region. Is that right?
