The much-heralded world’s highest and longest glass-bottomed bridge has opened to visitors in central China. It connects two mountain cliffs in what are known as the Avatar mountains in Zhangjiajie, Hunan province.
Completed in December, the 430 m-long bridge cost 3.4 million dollars to build and stands 300 metre above ground.
State news agency Xinhua reported it has been paved with 99 panes of three-layered transparent glass.
According to the officials, the 6 metre-wide bridge – designed by Israeli architect Haim Dotan – has already set world records for its architecture and construction.
Park officials have said a maximum of 8,000 visitors will be allowed on the bridge each day.
