How  to appreciate Beipanjiang Bridge?
1. Lots of people park cars at the ends of the bridge, where parking lots are provided, and then walk along either side of the bridge to appreciate its beauty; it’s illegal to park on any part of the bridge. Standing on the bridge, visitors have a wonderful overview of Beipan River Canyon. If you are scared of heights, you’d better not look down for a long time. Visitors are advised to bring along aerial cameras to take aerial photos.
