Longjiang Bridge in 2017
S10 Provincial Expressway
Yunnan Province, Southwest China
Near Sino-Burma border
Literally Dragon River Bridge
The Longjiang River is the largest obstacle along the S10 Baoteng spur expressway that branches off from the G56 to the city of Tengchong in western Yunnan Province. To get across the 300 meter deep river gorge, the engineers have designed the longest span high bridge on earth with a tower to tower distance of 3,924 feet (1,196 meters) - nearly as long as the Golden Gate Bridge. Longjiang surpassed the distance of both Aizhai and Balinghe Bridges which previously held the long span record honors among the world's highest bridges.
The Longjiang crossing is also unique among China's big mountain suspension bridges with a thin steel box girder deck that breaks away from the traditional truss deck used on earlier bridges like Siduhe, Balinghe, Lishuihe and Aizhai. Yunnan's Puli Bridge also has a steel box deck. The tallest tower on Longjiang Bridge measures 167 meters in height.

E China highways to go cashless
2017-12-04
A total of 800 highway lanes in east China's Jiangxi Province will adopt mobile payment at toll stations before the end of December, the highway administration said Monday.
Scanning devices are being installed at toll stations, and some are already in use, according to the administration.
As of October, the number of toll stations in the province had reached 335.
China's third-party mobile payment market continued its rapid expansion as cashless transactions gained popularity in the country.
In the second quarter of 2017, mobile payment transactions amounted to 23 trillion yuan (about US$3.46 trillion), up 22.5 percent from the previous quarter, according to a report by Beijing-based marketing consultancy firm Analysys International.
China had 724 million mobile phone users at the end of June 2017, more than 35 percent of whom make mobile payments often, according to China Internet Network Information Center.

Bridges in Wanzhou
Wanzhou is a small city in Chongqing Municipality, once called Wan County.
After Three Gorge Dam was completed in 2007, once turbulent Yangtze River becomes a deep and calm lake.
Before Three Gorge Dam was built, only small ships could navigate in this section of Yangtze River.
Now 3000 tons ship can arrive in Wanzhou year-round.
Its population increased from 100 thousand to 1 million.
Many Yangtze River Bridges have been built cross this "lake".
