China’s latest glass-bottomed bridge is a thrilling spot if you are addicted to heights and it should not be missed. The structure was first officially unveiled to the public on Saturday. The bridge crosses two peaks in the mountains of Zhangjiajie. They are the same range that the American blockbuster Avatar.
It is said to be the world’s highest and longest glass-bottomed bridge. Thousands of tourists queued up for the grand opening of the bridge and the attraction became so busy that you can barely see the sheer drop below.
The bridge is suspended 300 meters (984 ft) above a sheer drop and it spans approximately 430 meters (1,400 feet) across two peaks. It also crosses a canyon. The canyon divides two mountain cliffs in Zhangjiajie Park, in China’s central Hunan province. The structure is made of some 99 panels of clear glass and is six meters (19 ft 8 in) wide. It can carry up to 800 people at the same time. It was stated by an official in Zhangjiajie. Tourists can walk across the bridge, designed by Israeli architect Haim Dotan.
