If you’ve ever wanted to sip your latte while suspended among the clouds, China now offers exactly that.
The Huajiang Grand Canyon Bridge in Guizhou Province, which opened to traffic on September 28, has unveiled Interstellar Coffee, a glass-walled café perched 800 metres (2,624 feet) above the ground — making it one of the highest coffee spots on Earth.
The café crowns one of the bridge’s towering pylons and features two levels with 360-degree views of the surrounding canyon. According to Guizhou Daily Tianyan News, it will initially serve Captain George Coffee, with plans to expand its offerings in the coming months.
Visitors will ascend via a glass elevator reaching the café in under a minute, while thrill-seekers can also walk across a 1,900-foot-high glass walkway or even bungee jump from the bridge itself.
Stretching 4,600 feet across the Beipan River, the Huajiang Grand Canyon Bridge is now officially the tallest bridge in the world and the longest ever built in a mountainous region. It has also transformed local travel, reducing the journey between Liuzhi and Anlong from two hours to just two minutes.
Built over three years and eight months, the bridge is part of China’s sweeping infrastructure drive aimed at connecting remote areas and boosting tourism. Guizhou now boasts more than 32,000 bridges — up from fewer than 3,000 in the 1980s — making it one of the most bridge-dense regions on the planet.
For those bold enough to drink their coffee half a mile above the Earth, Interstellar Coffee promises views that are truly out of this world.
