GUIYANG, China, Sept. 29 (Xinhua) -- Not for the first time, Mateo Leo Massoni perched on the edge of the Huajiang Grand Canyon Bridge. As a fine drizzle misted the air, the 22-year-old French BASE jumper leapt Monday afternoon from the world's highest bridge - a jump made with the calm confidence of a seasoned veteran.
Soaring 625 meters above the Beipan River in southwest China's Guizhou Province, the Huajiang Grand Canyon Bridge is nearly nine times as tall as San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge. The bridge opened to traffic Sept. 28.
