This is the largest natural bridge in the world and it's located in China. Fairy Bridge is the translation for the Chinese name of Xianren, which means "eternal people." How that became "fairy" we don't know. It is estimated to have a span of 580' 8.5" (177 meters), height to the top of the span of 475' 9" (145 meters), height to the underside of the span of 219'10" (67 meters), thickness of 255' 11" (78 meters), and width of 63' 7" (19.4 meters). We rode on a powered bamboo raft that could accommodate about 25 people down the river to go under the bridge to the other side, where we took this photo. Then, we went back upstream under the bridge again to return to our starting point. The bridge forms a low roof over that part of the river. We saw a bat on our way back.
