The 22 Special Bridges In The World - This One Takes The Cake

22. The Bridge Of Immortals, China

Located in one of China's most picturesque mountain ranges, the remarkable stone bridge known as "Fairyland Bridge" links two mountains in Huangshan, China. It seems as though this amazing construction was created straight from the natural rock formations. Offering visitors a unique viewpoint of the misty Huangshan scenery, the bridge spans an amazing abyss between two peaks. Local tradition holds that immortals built the bridge since no ordinary person could have created such a flimsy crossing in such a difficult site. Inspired by the "floating" mountains, unusual rock formations, and ancient pine trees of the surrounding area, which have long inspired many Chinese artworks and poetry, Although the bridge is very short, its great altitude and spectacular drops on both sides make it among the most often photographed bridges in China. Strong railings and well-kept stone steps among other safety precautions guarantee that guests may safely witness this amazing accomplishment of ancient Chinese engineering while savoring the mysterious environment that bestowed upon the bridge its name.
