By all accounts, bridges exist only where there is water, yet there is no water beneath the Cloud Mist Sky Bridge; by all accounts, all bridges are man-made, meticulously designed and constructed, yet the Cloud Mist Sky Bridge was shaped by nature; by all accounts, bridges come in wood, stone, and iron, yet the Cloud Mist Sky Bridge is neither iron, nor stone, nor made of wood—it is naturally formed from piled-up earth.
The Cloud Mist Sky Bridge is located on a ridgeline on the southern foothills of Guiguling, situated between Santianmen and Sitianmen. It is called a "sky bridge" because it sits at an elevation of 2,000 meters, high above the ground, often floating amidst the white clouds in the sky. It is called the Cloud Mist Sky Bridge because this flat and straight ridgeline is so narrow that only one person can pass through at a time, with steep earthen slopes on both sides covered in shrubs. As Guiguling is often shrouded in mist and clouds, the deep valleys on either side are frequently enveloped in drifting fog. When standing on the ridgeline and looking out at the misty clouds on both sides, seeing them surge like rolling white waves, one can’t help but feel as if they are on a celestial bridge, floating as if immortal.
This tall and straight ridgeline is the sky bridge. It resembles a rainbow stretching across the vast sea of clouds, heading directly northward toward Guiguling. The Cloud Mist Sky Bridge is like a dazzling ribbon of color dancing in midair atop the ridgeline.
