  • I have visited this landmark, during my trip to China in 2018. The bridge did shake a little because of the wind, and it was a little bit scary to step on the glass 😛 The chineese "Grand Canyon" - I say on the camera.
    The main point of interest was the national forest park, a place of breathtaking beauty. The word has it that James Cameron was inspired by this place when he came with the idea of Pandora world in the Avatar movie🤓. But who knows...
    From Wikipedia:
    Zhangjiajie Glass footpath is a skywalk bridge in Zhangjiajie, Hunan, above the Wulingyuan area. The bridge, built as an attraction for tourists, is glass-bottomed and is transparent. When it opened it was the longest and tallest glass bottomed bridge in the world. The bridge, opened to the public on August 20, 2016, measures 430 metres (1,410 ft) in total length and 6 metres (20 ft) in width, and is suspended about 300 metres (980 ft) above the ground. The bridge spans the canyon between two mountain cliffs in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park in the northwest of Hunan province. It is designed to carry up to 800 visitors at a time. The bridge was designed by Israeli architect Haim Dotan.
