Three-Story Viaduct in China Surprises with Spiral Curves, 350 Meters High and a View That Resembles a Dragon in the Mountains

Videos circulating on social media have drawn attention from internet users again. The reason is a giant construction in China: a three-story viaduct located on Tianlong Mountain, in Shanxi province. The bridge, at 350 meters high, stands out for its spiral structure that resembles a dragon resting on the mountain.

The most important thing is that this construction is part of the Tianlongshan highway, nicknamed the “Highway Above the Clouds.”

From above, the view is impressive. The road appears to float, with winding curves and elevations that challenge gravity.

Million-Dollar Project

The construction of the highway began in March 2018 and was completed the following year. The full route is about 30 km, highlighting the main viaduct.

The cost of the project was US$ 100 million, equivalent to R$ 578 million. Overall, around seven thousand tons of steel were used to support the structure.

This project shows how China has heavily invested in visually appealing infrastructure. In addition to its practical function of connecting mountainous regions, the site has become a tourist attraction in its own right.

Besides the impressive visuals, the Tianlongshan highway also stands out for its precision engineering. Sensors were used along the structure to monitor in real-time factors such as temperature, vibration, and stability.

This system ensures greater safety for drivers and allows for constant preventive maintenance, even in such a challenging terrain.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

While the U.S. still faces limitations in deep space, China is developing unprecedented technology with strategic satellites that maintain communication with the far side of the Moon and aims for dominance by 2030.

In Botswana, a salt flat of up to 16,000 km² that was once an African megalake spends months as an absolute white desert, but during the rainy season it transforms into a shallow sea that reappears from nowhere and can be seen from space in the middle of southern Africa.

The Blood Falls of Antarctica hide a living ecosystem trapped under the ice for over 2 million years, where microbes survive without light, without oxygen, and without ever having seen the Sun.

Bavarian archaeologists unearthed a medieval skeleton that had an articulated iron hand in place of its left arm, and the discovery reveals that doctors were already creating sophisticated prosthetics over 500 years ago.

For the first time, scientists have mapped the Etna magma system in almost real time and discovered where the volcano was storing large volumes of molten material before years of eruptions, revealing an underground reservoir that fills and reorganizes like a living organism beneath the mountain.

The CEO of Honor in Spain says that smartphones will change with AI, foldables, and even robot phones; the component crisis is making cheap models more expensive in 2026 and shifting the focus to premium.

Brazilian city becomes a global destination after attracting tourists who travel up to 10,000 km to visit a sanctuary with 11 giant saints up to 10 meters tall, open 24 hours and located along a highway in SP.

JBL Flip Essential 3 SE is launched with 30W of power (20W + 10W), Bluetooth 5.4, Auracast for multiple connections, IP67 water and dust resistance, up to 12 hours of battery life, and a price of approximately R$ 660 in China.

After ten days orbiting the Moon, science confirms that the astronauts of the Artemis II mission return with altered bodies.

Pernambuco paradise with 59% of preserved area advances with R$ 2 billion in e-methanol, aims for 900 tons/day, grows 38.6% and builds electrified terminal of 400 thousand TEUs.

Brazil may have railways back on the map, but it will need the government: a study reveals 7,412 km ready for reactivation, a cost of R$ 75 billion, 61 sections analyzed, and none viable without public funding.
