Longjiang Suspension Bridge (China)
Also known as the Long River Bridge, the Longjiang Suspension Bridge can be found outside of the city of Baoshan and connects Baoshan to the city of Tengchong in west Yunnan. The highest and tallest suspension bridge in Asia, its construction was very intricate and was only completed in 2016, after five years. Stretching over 3,900 feet and suspended 920 feet above the river, it is among the world’s longest and tallest bridges. Before it was constructed, locals needed to take a detour of 8.4 miles to get to Tengchong from Baishan – what an inconvenience!

Capilano Suspension Bridge (Canada)
The Capilano Suspension Bridge sits 230 feet above the waters of the Capilano River in Northern Vancouver. Stretching 460 feet, the bridge gets approximately 800,000 visitors in a year, which isn’t really surprising given the area it is located in. It was originally built in 1889 by the Scottish civil engineer George Grant Mackay and was sold twice before Rae Mitchell bought and renovated the entire bridge during the mid-1950s. Fun fact: this bridge has been the setting of episodes of different T.V. series, such as MacGyver, The Crow: Stairway to Heaven, Sliders, and Psych.
