	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. This unique natural arch is why the engineers chose this location more then 100 kilometers north of a more direct path between Liupanshui and Kunming. This natural arch is reported to be 330 meters high with the river traveling for more then 1.2 kilometers through the cave. The Kedu River is part of the upper reaches of the Beipanjiang River which has more bridges over 300 meters in height then any other waterway in the world.

−	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 55 meters high. The new railway bridge is 670 meters long with a span configuration of 2x32 +68+2x128+72 +5x32 meters~~.
