You couldn’t pay me any sum of money to bungee jump from 2,000 ft. Never. I might even be hesitant to even drive or walk across it. Gulp.
What’s also incredible is how fast the Chinese government have developed that backwater providence. What’s also extraordinary is that China has been engaged in that level of new infrastructure and modernization all over their country. Makes our present infrastructure projects and improvements seem kind of feeble in comparison.
