-One of the two largest railway viaducts on earth, the original Caijiagou Railway bridge is part of the double track Yu-Li Railway line near Fuling and Chongqing city that connects with nearby Hubei Province.  Completed in 2013, it is now possible to travel by rail from Shanghai to Chongqing in just 8 hours.  Just 100 meters north of the Caijiagou Railway Bridge is the similar but even larger and taller Caijiagou Railway Bridge Yiwan on the Chongqing to Wanzhou HSR line with piers 150 meters tall that are 11 meters taller than the original Caijigou Railway Bridge's 139 meter pier.

-A multi-span monstrosity on a scale never seen before on a railway bridge, the original 2013 Caijiagou Railway Bridge has 41 piers including one that reaches a height of 456 feet (139 meters), one of the 5 tallest railway piers on earth and the first to equal the 459 foot (140 mtr) pier of the Viaduct 13 bridge in Brazil.  If measured from the top of the deck straight down to the top of the foundation, the structure is 495 feet (151 mtrs). The massive piers are shaped like the Chinese character 人 to keep the huge structure stable.  The beams resting on top of the piers are 3.632 meters thick at the midspan and 11.923 meters thick over the piers.  The total length of the bridge is 1 and a quarter miles or 2.05 kilometers.

-The Xinqiao Railway Viaduct on the same line just east of Caijiagou is nearly as impressive with an even longer length of 2.55 kilometers but a little lower in height.  Like Caijiagou, Xinqiao has 人 shaped piers that support 2 high speed rail lines.  These are far and away the four largest high level railway viaducts ever built.
