Mekong River Crossing (China)
The Mekong River is an enormous river that stretches across six countries in Asia – China, Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam. The condition of the river water can fluctuate from raging rapids to calm. This photo shows a man using the wires to get across the river with extremely choppy waters. Crossing our fingers that he is great at slack-lining because if not, he will be in deep waters, quite literally.

Millau Viaduct (France)
The Millau Viaduct is Europe’s largest cable-stayed bridge and the world’s tallest bridge as it stands at a towering height of 1,125 feet and is 105 feet wide and over 8,000 feet long. It crosses the gorge in Tarn in Southern France and it was constructed from 2001 until 2004. Because of potential winds with the highest possible speed of 151 kilometers per hour, they installed side screens to reduce the wind’s effect by 50%. Back in 2006, the International Association for Bridge and Structural Engineering gave the Outstanding Structure Award to the Millau Viaduct.
