GUIYANG,
China, Feb. 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Guizhou, the only province in China without plains, is home to over 30,000
completed and under-construction bridges. Nearly half of the
world's top 100 high bridges are located here. The people of
Guizhou have carved roads through
mountains and built bridges over rivers, creating a vast high-speed
transportation network. Tens of thousands of bridges connect
Guizhou to the rest of the country
and the world, allowing local products to reach markets far and
wide.
The short video series "Be My Guest• Focus Guizhou", produced by
Guizhou Satellite TV and the International Communication Center of
Guizhou Radio and Television Station, adopts a reality show format
with international photographers invited to explore Guizhou. Through their lenses, the series
captures their authentic experiences and the richness of
Guizhou's culture.
In this episode, Norwegian travel photographer Ole Eidskrem, who dreams of being a bridge
between China and Western
countries, accepts an invitation from travel vlogger Fang Jiayu
from Hong Kong to explore
Guizhou known as the world's
canyon and bridge museum.
Their journey begins at the Longli River Bridge, where local
travel vlogger Yuan Wenwen guides them. Together, they take in
breathtaking views of the canyon below and tackle the
adrenaline-pumping challenge of bungee jumping from the bridge.
They then visit the Hongfeng Lake, where they sail to the center
to admire the Huayu Cave Bridge, a basket-shaped bridge. They learn
how the bridge earned itself the Gustavus Lindsahl Award, the
world's most prestigious bridge construction award. From a
distance, they spot bird nests built atop the bridge, a testament
to Guizhou's commitment to
ecological preservation and the harmony with nature.
Along the lakeshore, they enjoy a local delicacy, thorn pear,
and discover how bridges have played a crucial role in bringing
Guizhou's specialties to the
world.
The journey concludes at the under-construction Huajiang Canyon
Bridge, soon to be the world's tallest. On the catwalk of the
bridge, Liu Hao, the chief engineer,
shares the significance of this monumental project and its promise
to enable a breathtaking "37-second crossing" of the canyon.
"Standing there, I felt like we were connecting cultures,
technologies, and ideas," Ole says. This bridge-themed journey
gives him a deeper understanding of the critical role bridges play
in Guizhou and solidify his
commitment to building a bridge of friendship between China and Norway.
