The eastern tower measures 269 m (883 ft) making it one of the tallest in the world.
The bridge spans 1.34 km (0.83 miles) between Xuanwei city in Yunnan province and Shuicheng county in Guizhou province. It shortens the journey between the two places from more than four hours' drive to about an hour according to the state broadcaster CCTV.
