The Dimuhe River Bridge is a suspension bridge near Liupanshui, Guizhou, China. With a road deck 360 m (1,180 ft) high, this is one of the highest suspension bridges in world. The bridge is part of the G56 Hangzhou–Ruili Expressway between Liupanshui and Bijie and was opened in 2016.[1]

Although Dimuhe River Bridge is officially 360 metres high, the bridge crosses over a shallow reservoir leaving 340 meters of height from the deck to the lake surface when the reservoir is full. The reservoir is along the Sancha River, the headwaters of the Wu River.
