WORLD'S LONGEST AND HIGHEST GLASS-BOTTOM...." SKYWALK" Engineering Marvel - China Set To Open World's Longest And Highest Glass-Bottom Bridge, the World's longest Skywalk. Don't look down!. Would you walk over this bridge made of glass?. If you are terrified of heights you would be advised to stay well away from China’s latest attraction. Scary walkway opened in south-west China in Chongqing, which extended 87.5ft from the edge of a cliff. Visitors are suspended in the air with 2,350ft of valley below their feet, leaving them feel as though they are walking on air. Located in the Longgang National Geological Park, the bridge has been named Yuanduan, meaning "At the end of the clouds". The Grand Canyon Skywalk. National Geological Park in south-west China. The World's longest cantilever bridge. The horseshoe shaped glass phenomenon. The terrifying platform is no quick stroll, stretching a whopping 1,410ft above the impressive Hunan province scenery. Those who fear the bridge will give way need not worry, as the 19ft-wide bridge is able to hold 800 tourists at a time. There are even fashions shows along the sky-high pathway, which has unbeatable views of the national park . The dizzying walkway is suspended between two cliffs in the Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon area with unbeatable views of the national park, is set to smash records to be the world’s longest and highest glass-bottomed bridge and was designed to be invisible as possible--a white bridge disappearing into the clouds." The record-breaking construction is the work of award-winning Israeli architect Haim Dotam, best known for his ecologically-minded designs throughout the world. Spanning 1,410 feet long, 20 feet across and hovering 984 feet above the ground, the new transparent walkway is the largest of its kind ever built. The suspension bridge consists of two side steel beams with a structural glass deck and hanging side stay cables. Dotan estimates that the bridge will be able to hold up to 800 people at once. Israeli architect Haim Dotan was behind the ambitious venture, which will easily dwarf America’s Grand Canyon Skywalk which sits 718ft above ground measuring 68ft long. For tourists who catch the adrenaline bug from completing the transparent walkway, there will also be the opportunity to try the world’s highest bungee jump. The bridge will afford tourists a world class view of the striking landscape that includes many sandstone and quartz cliff often dotted with trees and waterfalls. I hope you will enjoy the consecutive photos posted below. Thank you for your read and views. Have a pleasant time Sincerely. Lisa.              |

Amazing but I'll bet lots of people can't manage this one. I'd likely run headlong into it but I know one of my daughters would not set foot on it. Spiritwoman ^i^

Mary Ann my dear friend, Am so delighted for your visit and your nice comments, thank you also for your appreciation of this blog of mine and for the photos. I was keen to share this new wonders to all of you here and I was sure it would please each of you. It took the Chinese one year to complete the project successfully. It is a very stable structure all made of very thick glass, such as the bottom and the side handles of these Skywalk. Wonderful work really. Yes, it may be closed during the rain I guess. Thanks again Mary Ann, am glad it has pleased you. I wish you a wonderful day, Lisa.
