Sidu River Bridge, China - Highest Bridge in the World

The Sidu River Bridge in China holds the record for being the highest bridge in the world, suspended over 1,600 feet above the river below. This suspension bridge spans a vast gorge in the Hubei province, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains. The incredible height, combined with the openness of the structure, creates an intense feeling of exposure. The bridge's long span and high winds can make it sway, adding to the fear factor.
