The Aizhai Bridge


The Aizhai Bridge is a suspension bridge on the G65 Baotou–Maoming Expressway near Jishou, Hunan, China. The bridge was built as part of an expressway from southwest China's Chongqing Municipality to Changsha with a main span of 1,146 metres (3,760 ft) and a deck height of 350 metres (1,150 ft),as of 2013, it is the sixth-highest bridge in the world and the world's fifteenth-longest suspension bridge. Of the world's 400 or so highest bridges, none has a main span as long as Aizhai. It is also the world's highest and longest tunnel-to-tunnel bridge.The bridge contains 1888 lights to increase visibility at night. Construction on the Aizhai Bridge began in October 2007 and was completed by the end of 2011, ahead of schedule. The bridge was temporarily opened to pedestrians during the 2012 Spring Festival and was formally opened to traffic in March 2012.
The bridge was built with the assistance of a $208 million loan from the Asian Development Bank; the loan also funded 64 kilometres (40 mi) of expressway construction and upgrades to 129 kilometres (80 mi) of local roads. The bridge and the associated road construction were projected to reduce the travel time between Jishou and Chadong from 4 hours to less than 1 hour. In September 2012, the Aizhai Bridge was the site of an international BASE jumping festival that included more than 40 jumpers from 13 countries.


The tallest Dam in the world will be at China


The Jinping-I Hydropower Station (also known as the Jinping-I Dam, Jinping 1st Cascade or Jinping No.1 Hydraulic Power Station) is a large hydroelectric project on the "Jinping Bend" of the Yalong River (Yalong Jiang) in Lingshan, Sichuan, China. Construction on the project began in 2005 and when complete, it will have a 3600 MW capacity to produce between 16 and 18 TW-h (billion kW·h) annually. Supplying the power station will be a reservoir created by a 305-metre-tall arch dam, the tallest in the world. The project's objective is to supply energy for expanding industrialization and urbanization, improve flood protection, and prevent erosion. The dam began to impound its reservoir on 30 November 2012 and the first two of six 600 MW generators became operational on 30 August 2013.  Full electrical power capability will not be installed until 2015.

One of the most romantic spots on Earth is "Tunnel of Love"

Today the Tunnel of Love is highly popular among lovers: it is believed that if two people are sincere in their love and cross the tunnel while holding each other’s hands, their wishes will come true.
For those of us who are head over heals in love, here’s a new destination to consider. The Tunnel of Love, located in Ukraine, used to be just another train rail section, but eventually turned into one of the most romantic spots on Earth.
As trees were left to grow freely around the rails, the passing train was the only thing shaping its way through. Eventually, by crossing the  Kleven village forest back and forth three times a day, the train shaped a closed tunnel according to it’s size.
