Self-driving in Guizhou, encountering the most beautiful bridges and mysterious service areas in the deep mountains

Self-driving in Guizhou, encountering the most beautiful bridges and mysterious service areas in the deep mountains Guizhou is really amazing, a service area is built like an alien base... Bringing seals to Guizhou to participate in parent-child study tours. It's less than three hours direct flight from Qingdao to Guiyang. Drive to Pingtang County, which has the 'Eye of China', after landing. The weather is cool and pleasant, traveling through the clouds along the way. On the way, you will pass through the Pingtang Grand Bridge, known as the 'Bridge in the Sky', which is 2135 meters long with a main tower height of 332 meters. It is the tallest concrete tower bridge in Asia, spanning the Caodu River Gorge. The bridge is surrounded by clouds and fog, and is encircled by mountains and ridges, resembling a fairyland. After crossing the bridge, be sure to exit the highway at the Pingtang Grand Bridge toll booth and stop at the service area. This UFO-like building is not only a service area but also a bridge museum, cliff hostel, specialty store... Inside, staff provide in-depth explanations of the history of bridge development, and there are plenty of parent-child activities. Children can follow the teacher to experience building a lever bridge by hand. The magical sticks, without any glue and relying on mechanical principles, can support a small bridge that holds the weight of 30 bottles of water, which is really amazing! There are cute check-in photo spots on the observation deck, take a photo from the 332-meter-high 'Bridge in the Sky' as a greeting and keep it as a souvenir~ Stay in Pingtang, Guizhou on the first day, and set off early in the morning to see the 'Eye of China'.
