The rest gets pumped to the middle of the bridge and let loose, spilling into a misty waterfall about 984 feet (300 meters) wide that falls more than 2,000 feet (606 meters) toward the river.

After dark, lasers light the cascade to pull in crowds.

Chinese state media has called it the world's highest artificial waterfall. The spray pressure can be pushed to take its height to nearly 100 meters (330 feet).

A New Tourist Hotspot

Roughly 300,000 people visited the Huajiang Canyon Bridge during the Chinese New Year in February, with more than 70,000 vehicles driving across it.

Visitors can take a glass elevator to a coffeehouse on top of one of the towers, 800 meters (2,625 feet) above the valley floor.

Bungee jumping and paragliding rigs are built into the structure.

Between 1929 and 2001, America's Royal Gorge Bridge was the world's highest bridge, but it was overtaken by the Liuguanghe Bridge in 2001.
