话题：贵州花江峡谷大桥 难度：★★★ 用时：7分钟
The Huajiang Canyon Bridge in Guizhou is making news all over
the world! On January 17, 2025, the main parts of the bridge were
completed. It is a fantastic achievement of engineering.
This bridge is truly special. It's 2,890 meters long and 195 meters
high from the water. When finished late this year, it will be the highest
bridge in the world.
Building this bridge is very hard. The workers have to face many
difficulties. The canyon（峡谷） is deep, and there are strong winds, rain,
and sudden temperature changes. To build the bridge, engineers use the
world's largest cable crane（缆索起重机） system to lift heavy things.
They also use many cameras and sensors（传感器） to make sure
everything is safe.
Guizhou is the only province in China that doesn't have plains
（平原）. It has many mountains and canyons. Guizhou has built over
30,000 bridges among its 1,260,000 mountains. About half of the world's
top 100 highest bridges are here. These bridges turn mountains into
highways.
The Huajiang Canyon Bridge will cut the travel time across the
canyon from 1 hour to just 2 minutes. And it will shorten the travel
time from Liuzhi to Anlong from 3 hours to 1.5 hours. This will make
it easier for people to travel to work and school. Tourists can also easily
