Zhangjiajie Glass Bridge

Also called Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon Glass Bridge, (29.399469°N 110.698372°E) is a bridge located in Zhangjiajie, China, above the Wulingyuan area. The bridge, built as an attraction for tourists, is glass-bottomed and is transparent. It is the longest and tallest glass bottomed bridge in the world.

On September 2, 2016, just 13 days after the bridge was opened, the authorities put out a notice saying that they are closing the bridge due to overwhelming visitor traffic.[5] The bridge, designed to hold 800 persons at a time and expected to be visited by about 8,000 people per day, has reportedly attracted more than 80,000 visitors per day.[6] The authorities said that the government decided to suspend operations due to the "urgency to improve and update" the attraction. Parts of the infrastructure that will be improved include its car parks, ticket-booking system, and customer service. The bridge reopened on September 30, 2016.

To build the bridge, engineers erected 4 support pillars on the edges of the walls of the canyon. The bridge is made of a steel frame with more than 120 glass panels. Each of these panels is 3-layered and is a 2-inch-thick slab of tempered glass. There are 3 long swings attached to the underside of the bridge. Also there is a provision for making an 870-foot bungee-jump. This is considered to be highest such jump in the world.

The glass bridge will not only serve as a walkway. Visitors can go bungee jumping and zip-lining off of it as well.
The glass bridge started a trial operation on August 20, 2016. During its trial operation, no more than 8,000 visitors each day have the opportunity to walk on the bridge. Entrance tickets can only be obtained by reservation.

There are three glass skywalks in Tianmen Mountain Scenic Area, about 85 kilometers away from Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon Glass Bridge. The glass skywalks cling to the vertical cliffs at a height of over 1,400 meters (4,600 feet).

It is just an amazing bridge of the world.
