Arrived at Aizhai Bridge on a rainy day, it was drizzling all day, but unexpectedly saw the 'Aizhai Bridge above the clouds'. Aizhai Extra-large Suspension Bridge, located in Aizhai Town, Jishou City, Xiangxi Prefecture, Hunan Province, has now become a new landmark that must be seen when visiting Hunan. This is a double-layer road and sightseeing channel dual-purpose bridge, a four-lane expressway extra-large bridge, with a total length of 1073.65m, the main span of the suspension bridge is 1176m, creating four world firsts, known as 'China's Full Moon'. No matter from which angle you view the bridge, you will be shocked by its majestic and spectacular! The bridge in the clouds is even more fascinating, like a rainbow hanging above the clouds, vague and mysterious. Up close, you can take the elevator to the bridge, walking on the bottom red sightseeing bridge, like walking in the air, thrill-seekers can bungee jump here, challenge themselves. Walking around the bridge, overlooking the distant scenery, the distant mountains in the clouds are like a ink painting, the villages under the mountain are surrounded by rivers, vaguely visible, the mountain road is also a spectacle... Walking in it, I can't help but sigh at the strength and wisdom of China, and I'm fortunate to have a tour here!

Aizhai Bridge is like the cloud end

On the way, check in at Aizhai Bridge Scenic Area. I won't mention how awesome the various aspects of Aizhai Bridge are, anyway, I don't understand. There are many attractions in the scenic area. In fact, it's enough to just walk on the Aizhai Bridge. The others are either too stimulating and not suitable for all players, or they are just looking at the mountains, trees, and valleys from a different angle, spending a lot of time but without a special experience (slip past when you have enough free time). It was raining when I arrived at the scenic area. When I got to the bridge, the rain stopped. The clouds and mist slowly dispersed, and the scattered moving clouds on the top of the mountain, the villages under the bridge, the roads... The worldly fireworks were slowly outlined from blurry to clear. Lazily strolling under the bridge, stopping and overlooking under the bridge, with a wide view and a relaxed mood, it's like looking at the world from the sky, having a great time as a fairy. Standing on the bridge and looking straight ahead, the pale clouds are lingering around the peaks, and the green mountains after the rain are especially green and bright. God is actually a very partial painter, raining and clouding, making this part of Aizhai so beautiful. Special reminder, the entrance ticket to Aizhai Bridge Scenic Area is 115 yuan, half off for over sixty, and free for over sixty-five.
