Don’t look down: World’s longest, highest glass bridge to open in China

If you’re afraid of heights or prone to vertigo, you’ll want to stay away from the Zhangjiajie National Forest Park.

The world’s highest and longest glass-bottomed bridge was recently completed at the park in Huanan Province in China. Adventure seekers will be able to walk across the bridge, 985 feet above the ground, that connects two cliffs.

The walkway is made of large glass panels and can hold up to 800 visitors at once as they walk its 1,400 feet and gaze down into the canyon below. It measures about 20 feet across.

Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon’s YouTube channel boasts that the bridge holds 10 world records, among them highest glass bridge in the world, longest glass bridge in the world, longest swing in Asia and highest bungee in the world.

Bridge construction was originally scheduled to be completed by the end of 2015, but just wrapped up last month. There is no official opening date set for the stomach-churning attraction, but the South China Morning Post said it is likely to open in July.
