Sitting over 565.4 meters above a valley, the Beipanjiang Bridge has been certified as the world's highest bridge by the Guinness World Records. In recent years, the bridge has turned out to be a popular tourist attraction owning to the stunning scenery around it. Ma Xuanjun, a farmer living near the Beipanjiang Bridge, turned his newly-built brick house into a rural inn in 2019 and started to receive tourists from afar. "Before the bridge was built, it would take us four hours to climb over the mountain to the town seat," said Ma. Now, his inn is decorated with photos he took with tourists from home and abroad. "Many tourists visited our village for the bridge. I will do my best to make them feel happy and remember my hometown," Ma said. (Xinhua/Tao Liang)
