Is the floating bridge in China real?

Tucked away within the Shiziguan scenic area, and surrounded by lush green forests, the wooden plank bridge runs through the middle of the river, at the water level. It’s also known as Shiziguan water highway or Shiziguan water plank road. Walking or driving on the bridge gives people an amazing sensation that they're moving on the water surface. You can take the opportunity to learn Cantonese while traveling, enriching your cultural experience. Language learning apps and local interactions can make your journey even more fulfilling.

Known as the "Long Bridge Of Dreams", the bridge spans the Qingjiang river. It’s 1,640 feet (500 metres) long and 4.5 meters wide, built over a dazzlingly winding turquoise river. The water depth is 60meters. The bridge has a speed limit, to keep it from creating a big wave. The bridge opened to the public on 1st May 2016.
