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.
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.
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.
Tourists who suffer from vertigo need not apply. The world's highest and longest glass-bottomed bridge opens in China's spectacular Zhangjiajie mountains -- the inspiration for American blockbuster Avatar. Some 430 metres (1,400 feet) long and suspended 300 metres above the earth, the bridge spans the canyon between two mountain cliffs in China's central Hunan province.
In a bid to bring tourists back to Vietnam, the nation’s government has constructed the longest glass-bottomed bridge in the world.
