‘I can touch the clouds’: how it feels to cross the world’s highest bridge

“我能摸到云”：穿越世界最高大桥是是种什么体验

As a safety worker for bungee jumps and rope swings, Mr Fu has spent a lot of time standing on bridges. But his new job, working at the new Huajiang Grand Canyon Bridge in Southern China, takes the cake.

作为蹦极和荡绳的安全工作者，付先生花了很多时间伫立在桥上。然而，他的新岗位——位于中国南方的花江峡谷大桥——才真正让他“一览众山小”。

“The view from the bridge is fantastic,” he tells the Guardian. “Beneath the bridge flows the Beipan River, with Huajiang Village nearby and a waterfall as well. It is very exciting – the bridge is very high, and many visitors come. Standing on it yourself feels thrilling as well.”

他告诉《卫报》：“从桥上望出去，景色太壮观了，桥下是奔流而过的北盘江，旁边就是花江村，还有一道瀑布。真的特别震撼——桥非常高，游客络绎不绝。自己站在桥上也会觉得很刺激。”

The new Huajiang Grand Canyon Bridge is the world’s highest, and officially opened to the public on 28 September.

这座全新的花江峡谷大桥为世界第一高桥，已于9月28日正式向公众开放。

Its deck sits 625 metres above the deep valley below, and spans almost 3km across – its 1,420-metre main section also making it the world’s longest bridge in a mountainous area, according to China’s state media.

据中国官方媒体报道，花江峡谷大桥桥面距下方深谷625米，全长约3公里——其中主跨达1420米，这也使其成为世界上最长的山区桥梁。

span v 横跨；跨越

It will reportedly cut travel time across the canyon from two hours to two minutes, taking the Guizhou S57 highway from Liuzhi special district to Anlong county. But authorities also hope it will attract tourists to the region, with viewing platforms, a glass lift to a cafe on top of one of the bridge arches, and a glass walkway for visitors to look down to the ground about 580 metres below. The bridge offers bungee jumping and slack-lining, and there are plans for professional Base jumping events, according to state media.

据报道，花江峡谷大桥将横跨峡谷的通行时间从两小时缩短至两分钟——贵州 S57 高速从此可由六枝特区直达安龙县。官方还希望这座桥能将游客吸引到该地区：设立了观景平台、玻璃电梯直通桥拱顶部咖啡厅，并建了供人俯瞰约 580 米下的谷底的玻璃步道。据官方媒体报道，这座桥能进行蹦极与扁带行走，还计划举办专业的基地跳伞赛事。

cut v 缩减

Not all attractions are operating yet, including the cafe which is expected to open in November, but local tour operators say it has already started drawing crowds. Visitors are reportedly restricted to 5,000 a day.

并非所有景点都在运营中，包括预计11月才营业的咖啡馆，但当地旅行社表示，大桥已开始吸引游客。据报道，每日游客上限为5000人。

restrict v 限制

Lin Guoquan, who runs a nearby guesthouse, posted on social media that his business was fully booked and there were now hundreds of people every day at a viewing platform where he used to drive guests.

林国权在附近经营着一家民宿，他在社交媒体上发帖称，自家客房已订满，过去他常开车带客人去的观景台，如今每天聚集数百人。

“Since it opened, I’ve crossed the bridge four times,” says Lin. “Before it was fully completed, I visited it more than 200 times just to see the bridge and monitor its progress … Now, I can see the world’s tallest bridge right from my courtyard.”

老林说：“自大桥开放以来，我已经往返了四次。在它完全建成前，我来看过两百多次，就为了看看这座桥，监督它的进展……如今，我站在自家院子里就能看见这座世界第一高桥。”

Social media is awash (充满) with videos from the bridge, including drone vision shot by Lin. One user described cars looking “as small as ants” driving across the bridge.

社交媒体上，大桥的视频铺天盖地，其中不少航拍画面就出自老林之手。一位网友形容，桥上的汽车“小得像蚂蚁”。

“Sitting in the car, it felt as if I could reach out and touch the clouds with my hand,” said another.

“坐在车里，伸手仿佛就能摸到云。”另一位网友写道。

The bridge took less than four years to build, and supplanted another Chinese bridge – also in Guizhou province – as the world’s highest. The bridge wins that title because of the distance between its deck and the ground below. Structurally, its two 262-metre tall towers make it the world’s 19th tallest bridge.

这座桥只用了不到四年的时间就建成了，取代了了另一座同样位于贵州省的中国桥梁，为世界上最高的桥梁。这一纪录依据桥面与地面的垂直距离判定；若按桥塔高度，其两座262米的塔柱在全球排名中位列第19。
