8. Ponte Eshima Ohashi, Japan

Advertisement
The Eshima Ohashi Bridge, connecting Matsue and Sakaiminato, is celebrated for its striking appearance. When captured with a telephoto lens, the bridge appears impossibly vertical, resembling a roller coaster climbing steeply toward the sky. Actually, the incline is merely 6.1 percent, but the optical effect is so persuasive that it has become popular among travelers seeking excitement without genuine risk.
