Victoria Falls Bridge is a bridge connecting the canyon downstream of Victoria Falls. On both sides of the bridge are Victoria Falls (Zimbabwe) in Zimbabwe and Livingstone Zambia in Zambia. The bridge itself is part of the British government's plan to build the Cape Town-Cairo Railway. But the plan has not been finalized. It is said that only the Congo Railway today was built to Victoria Falls in 1904, so the bridge began construction. All the bridge components were made in the UK, shipped to Bella Port, Mozambique, and then transported here by new railways. It took 14 months to complete in September 1905. The opening ceremony was presided over by Professor George Darwin, the nephew of the biologist Darwin. The bridge is 198 meters long and 120 meters high. It functions as a combination of railways, highways and pedestrians. There are two lines in the middle of the bridge between the governments of Zimbabwe and Zambia. The two governments established entry ports on both sides of the bridge. Inside the line near Zambia, there are bungee jumping points. If you have enough courage and spend tens of dollars, you can jump off the 111-meter bridge. Although it's not the biggest bungee jumping spot in the world, it's a thrilling victory.

    The Victoria Bridge is located directly above the Victoria Falls in Zambia. It is a steel bridge across two canyons. The span is very large. It is just right to stand on the bridge and watch the Victoria Falls in front. The scenery and view are very good.

    The Victoria Bridge is located not far from the famous Victoria Falls, a huge steel bridge across the canyon. It is more than 100 meters vertically from the water below, and it is a place for bungee jumping to experience extreme sports. It is very exciting.

    I seem too ignorant, Zimbabwe doesn't look so bad? This bridge is also very good, is it built by the Chinese?

    Perhaps the most magnificent waterfall in the world is Victoria Falls between Zambia and Zimbabwe Falls are famous for their long length and large amount of water, though not as long as those in the United States and Canada. But when the waterfall catches up with the water, it is also earth-shaking, and the sound of the waterfall can be heard from ten kilometers away.

    Overlooking the Zambezi river waterfall bridge from Botswana to Victoria Falls, directly visiting Zimbabwe and Zambia's waterfall bridge, the bridge across the Zambezi River, far from the Vitoria waterfall, is very grand, there is a white line between the bridge, Zimbabwe and Zambia border, so simple. Standing on one side of the bridge, you can see the waterfall. On the other side, you can see the Zambezi River under the abyss. The bridge integrates roads, railways and sidewalks. It crosses the cliff abyss and connects Zimbabwe's waterfall city with Livingston, Zambia. A bronze medal was inlaid on the bridge pillar on the Zimbabwean side. It was jointly awarded by the Zimbabwean Association of Engineers and the American Association of Civil Engineers in 1995. The Victoria Falls Bridge was awarded the title of "International Milestone of Historic Civil Engineering". Now a bungee jumping point has been built in the middle of the bridge. Foreigners like to play bungee jumping. The drop is more than 200 meters. Now there are helicopter sightseeing projects to watch the waterfall, because of time reasons, there is no chance to see the magnificent scenery of the waterfall from the air. Some regrets. A boat tour of the Zambezi River, wildlife and sunset are the highlights of Zimbabwe and Zambia. They are very beautiful.
