Guizhou has a lot of bridges, all of which are engineering marvels in their own way, the Huajiang Grand Canyon Bridge being the latest one to open.
There is, however, another engineering feat that dates back to the 1970s that is no less impressive, as you will see in the video.

Amazing. I rode the high-speed train twice this week already, and it is incredibly fast (300+km/h) as it is. And incredibly convenient.

I recently went to Zhenyuan County, to be with the wonderful students and teachers of Zhenyuan Middle School. We had a terrific time together, and I have never given out so many autographs in one day. 😊
