Welcome to the world longest glass-bottomed bridge, which sways as people walk on the glass panels! The bridge is located between two steep cliffs at the Hongyagu scenic area in China's Hebei Province. A max of 600 people can cross the 1,601 feet long bridge at any one time. Standing at 715 feet above the valley, the bridge is about the same height as a 66-story building. Visitors must climb up 2,000 stairs, to reach the bridge, but an elevator is being built to facilitate access.
The world’s highest and longest bridge with a glass bottom opened to crowds in China's Hunan Province on Saturday. The record breaking bridge is 1,400 feet long and hangs over 1,000 feet above the earth, suspended between two mountain cliffs, offering stunning views of the rivers and forests of Zhangjiajie park.
A bridge over the Vitim River in eastern Siberia is certainly one of the scariest and most dangerous crossings on the planet. This 66-foot-high, 1,640-foot-long bridge is barely wide enough to fit a vehicle on it and comes without any safety railing. Despite its below-par condition and old decaying wooden flooring, the bridge is actively used daily by some 1,500 people at their own risk. The bridge was built around 30 years ago but was never officially put into operation.
This glass-bottomed pool, which is attached to the ninth story of a hotel in China, offers scenic views of the terrifying drop below and is believed to be the highest altitude pool with a glass bottom in the world. Brave bathers can take a dip in the frightening see-through pool at the Wanfu hot spring hotel in Zhangjiajie. The 2 foot deep and six and a half feet wide dipping pool hangs off the side of the nine-story steel structure of the hotel and overlooks the verdant Hunan hills.
