‘Don’t look down!’: ‘World’s highest glass-bottomed bridge’ to open in China

What is claimed to be the world’s highest and longest bridge with a glass-bottomed walkway is due to open in central China in July, according to state media.

The bridge stretching across a canyon in Zhangjiajie in Hunan province will be 430 metres long and is 400 metres high, the China News Service reported.

About 800 people will be able to cross at any one time and the attraction also claims it will have the world’s highest bungee jump, the report said.

The deck of the bridge is made up of 99 pieces of 4.8-cm thick glass.

The project cost is 260 million yuan (HK$330 million) and construction work started earlier this year, the report said.
