The Balinghe Bridge in Guizhou's Anshun City is near the most famous Huangguoshu Waterfall.

It is one of the highest bridges in the world, with precipices on both ends, ideal for such an extreme sport.

2,237 meters in total length

370 meters in clearance from the water surface

The bridge has hosted the tournament for six consecutive years.
