The Tianshengxia Railway Bridge is on a parallel line that is part of an upgrade to the older GuiKun line that connects Liupanshui and northern Guizhou with Yunnan Province and Kunming city to the west. The original line crosses the Kedu River on a more traditional steel box towered trestle approximately 70 meters high.

The railway crossing is one of the most famous in the region as the Kedu River is actually in a cave deep under the foundation of either railway bridge. The Kedu River is part of the upper reaches of the Beipanjiang River which has more bridges over 300 meters then any other waterway in the world.
