The second longest bridge in the world is also in China. The length of the long-distance Qingxian viaduct is 113.7 km. The construction of this grandiose bridge took a bit more than two years. In 2011, the bridge was put into operation. The viaduct connects several important areas of China: Beijing, as well as the urban districts Tianjin and Langfang. The bridge is not far from the southern railway station of Beijing, so the construction has begun to attract curious tourists since the beginning of construction.
The second longest bridge on the earth is also the railway bridge. With the express train you can drive through the incredibly beautiful areas. Remarkable that the bridges have long been considered one of the landmarks of Tianjin city. This city is located in a unique place, where five great origins of the Heihe river flow together. The large river port is often referred to as 'the Meteor' of Beijing. A few decades backwards the traffic between the picturesque harbor city and Peking was unsatisfactory.
The construction of the long railway bridge partially solved this problem. Now you need a bit more than an hour to get from Beijing to Tianjin. The ride will be incredibly exciting as the bridge stretches across the country's major water veins.
