Langfang–Qingxian viaduct, China 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. Next - Lake Pontchartrain Causeway
