8. Ponte Eshima Ohashi, Japan

The Eshima Ohashi Bridge, connecting Matsue and Sakaiminato, earns fame for its striking appearance. When captured with a telephoto lens, the bridge looks impossibly steep, resembling a roller coaster climbing sharply toward the sky. Actually, the gradient reaches only 6.1 percent, but the illusion proves so compelling that it has become popular among travelers seeking excitement without real danger.
