Year: 2010. Lenght: 79.7 km.
The bridge, which is laid out over the Wei River in China, is one of the most striking architectural attractions of the world. The railway bridge connects the cities of Xian and Zhengzhou and has the length of about 79.7 km. The bridge crosses Wei River, on whose honor it was named, twice. Although the bridge construction had already been completed in 2008, the bridge was put into operation only in 2010, when the new railway line was started.
At the time of the construction, the bridge over the Wei River was the longest in the world, but later gave priority to the other railway bridges belonging to the Beijing-Shanghai rapid-transit railway. It is true that the valuable experience accumulated during the construction of the bridge over Wei has contributed to the development of the new grandiose bridge building projects in China. The ride with the express train is very exciting. The railroad track stretches along several beautiful rivers and lakes. The ride will definitely please those tourists who like to graze on the natural splendor.
