The Baling River Bridge is China's top bridge, measuring 2.24 kilometers long and 370 meters high. Parachutists can fly and enjoy Anshun's scenery from a bird's-eye view.
"I like this competition. You must come and try yourself, otherwise you will never have the same feeling with me no matter how I explain it to you," said Chris Mcdougall from Australia, the champion of the last tournament.
