glass suspension bridge spans between two cliffs in china's shiniuzhai park
appropriately titled ‘brave men’s bridge’, a suspended crossing made entirely from glass has opened in the chinese province of hunan.
spanning between two cliffs within the shiniuzhai national geological park, the 300 meter-long structure is elevated 180 meters above ground, offering visitors a terrifyingly memorable experience. the shanghaiist reports that each 24mm thick (1 inch) panel used is 25 times stronger than regular glass.
‘the bridge we build will stand firm even if tourists are jumping on it,’ a local construction worker assured the state-owned china news service. ‘the steel frame used to support and encase the glass bridge is also very strong and densely built, so even if a glass (panel) is broken, travelers won’t fall through.’
