At
a height of 985 ft (300 meters) above the
ground 430 meters long, and 6 meters wide, the Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon glass bridge holds 10 world records and it has the highest
bungee jump in the world. The glass bridge
opened on May 1st 2016.
The bridge is fitted with over 70 glass balls, each weighing over 750 kilograms (1,650 pounds),
In order to prevent or dampen the vibrations, which could potentially
damage the structure, Wan Tianbao, a chief engineer on the project, explained to
China
Daily. The structure has also undergone over 100 safety tests to ensure that it can support the weight of at least 800 people.
The new bridge is amazing but also
terrifying, would you walk on or across? add
it to the bucket list!
