Zhangjiajie Glass Bridge
Zhangjiajie Glass Bridge — the world's longest glass-bottomed suspension bridge
Intro
The Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon Glass Bridge is a 430-metre glass-bottomed suspension bridge spanning a 300-metre deep gorge in Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon Scenic Area. When it opened in 2016 it was the world's longest and highest glass bridge. The experience of walking across — looking directly down through the transparent floor to the gorge far below — is genuinely thrilling and stomach-dropping even for those without fear of heights.
