The two sections of a steel-tube arch bridge -- currently under construction 270 meters above the Lancang River in southwest China's Yunnan province -- have been successfully connected. The entire length of the bridge floor -- nearly 530 meters -- will form part of the new Dali–Ruili Railway making it one of the longest arch bridges China has ever built.

For the love of dogs: A disabled dog has been rescued, and given a "mobility cart" to help him get around despite having limited use of his hind legs.

However, some local people were able to create a customised mobility cart for Ding Ding that has worked very well for him.
