Before we go, let's check out what's trending across the country
Yunnan province's Longchuan River Giant Bridge accomplished its first ever "twist". The height and weight of the twisting part set a world record, at 41.4 meters high and 73.5-hundred tons. The event marked another breakthrough in China's bridge construction field.
Now let's turn to Poyang Lake in Jiangxi province. The lake's continuously rising water line has made it hard for migratory birds to get food, due to a lack of exposed land. Specialists in the area are giving out food manually, to make sure the birds are getting enough to eat.
And finally, international slopestyle mountain biking "experts" gathered in Chengdu, Sichuan Province last Sunday to compete in the championships. The extreme sports competition saw some new champions rise to stardom. American Nick Bruce was the winner in the BMX event.
