Wujiang Grand Bridge in Zunyi

Zunyi is home to multiple iconic Wujiang-crossing bridges that blend cutting-edge engineering with dramatic Guizhou mountain-and-river scenery. Three standouts are the Wujiang Viaduct (G75), Zunyi Bridge (NH210), Nanmudu Wujiang Bridge (Guizun Expressway), and the world-record-breaking Deyu Wujiang Grand Bridge – all offering breathtaking views, perfect for photography and appreciating China’s infrastructure prowess.

Deyu Wujiang Grand Bridge (World-Class Arch Bridge)

Located at the junction of Fenggang County (Zunyi) and Sinan County, this is the world’s largest-span deck-type steel-tube concrete arch bridge (main span 504m, total length 1,834m). It features a pioneering all-bolted connection system (220,000 high-strength bolts, zero bearings) with millimetre-level construction precision. The striking red steel arch soars over the Wujiang River canyon, a landmark on the Deyu Expressway, opened for traffic in recent years. It’s a top spot for wide-angle landscape shots at sunrise/sunset.

Wujiang Viaduct (G75 Lanhai Expressway)

 Situated in Wujiang Town, Bozhou District, Zunyi. A prestressed concrete box-girder bridge with a total length of 1,452m, clearance height of 173m above the river. Opened in 2008, it’s a key link between Zunyi and Guiyang. The bridge stretches across the blue waters of the Wujiang Reservoir, framed by green hills – a classic roadside photo stop.
Nanmudu Wujiang Bridge (Guizun Expressway)

A modern cable-stayed bridge (total length 958m, main span 320m, deck height ~205m). The H-shaped concrete pylons (up to 197m tall) and dense cable arrays create a sleek silhouette against the sky. Opened in 2018, it’s the first 6-lane high-level cable-stayed bridge of its kind, offering stunning views from nearby overlooks and drone shots (note local drone regulations).

Zunyi Bridge (NH210, Classic Hybrid Design)

 A unique hybrid cable-stayed/suspension bridge (total length 461m, main span 288m) opened in 1997. It carries the old national highway through Wujiang Town, with a more intimate, scenic vibe – great for walking along the riverbank and capturing reflections of the bridge in the calm Wujiang waters.
