Panorama views of some magnificent bridges in China. Must Watch!

[AndrewJin]

Thank you @GS Zhou for the pricing info & more bridge links, now I have some idea about the toll road pricing in China. And I think it's still quite affordable. And about the special structures (tunnels, bridges etc) that cost more, they are also quite understandable! And think some users are more than happy to pay that little prices to enjoy the spectacular rides such as riding on the Hangzhou Bay Bridge me included...

just take it as the small entrance fee for a spectacular sightseeing ride... just open the windows, feel the breezes

If I were living around that bay area, it would have been part of my regular pleasure driving exercise, esp. at the night time, could be once every week or fortnight, at least once a month, just to have the sensation, open the car windows, light the cigarette, on the music and feel the breeze... just a low cost escape...

This bridge carries 3710km-long
G15 National Expressway
across Yangtze

Also check Dalian City's cross-bay bridge

Also check Dalian City's cross-bay bridge

Amazing, it's a very long expressway from Shenyang, the capital city of the Liaoning Province in the NE to the Haikou, the capital city of the Hainan Island in the south of China. The overall expressway length of 3,710 kilometers... wonder if there's any expressway longer than this one be it in China or at the rest of the world.

The Lianyungang–Khorgas Expressway (Chinese: 连云港－霍尔果斯高速公路), commonly referred to as the Lianhuo Expressway (Chinese: 连霍高速公路), is 4,243-kilometre-long expressway (2,636 mi)[1]in the People's Republic of China that connects the cities of Lianyungang, in the province of Jiangsu, and Khorgas, in the autonomous region of Xinjiang, on the border with Kazakhstan. At Khorgas, there is a border crossing into Kazakhstan. The expressway is the longest contiguous expressway in China with a single numeric designation, stretching across the country from the Yellow Sea on the east coast to the Kazakhstan border in the west. It passes through the provinces of Jiangsu, Anhui, Henan, Shaanxi, Gansu, and Xinjiang.

China Expressway: Beijing to Urumqi (G7) 京新高速公路

G7 Beijing–Urumqi Expressway - 2,540 km

The Beijing–Urumqi Expressway (北京－乌鲁木齐高速公路), commonly referred to as the Jingxin Expressway (京新高速公路) is an expressway that connects the cities of Beijing (the national capital city) and Urumqi, the capital city of Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, China. When complete, it will be 2,540 kilometers in length.

Currently, several sections of the expressway are still under construction. This includes an entire section from Linhe District, Bayan Nur, Inner Mongolia, through Gansu to Turpan, Xinjiang. Also, currently in Beijing the Beijing–Urumqi Expressway is a concurrency for its entire length with the G6 Beijing–Lhasa Expressway. However, a separate expressway will be built and the Beijing–Urumqi Expressway will be rerouted.
