600 foot high, glass-bottom bridge

‘You won’t want to look down': China’s terrifying 600 foot high, glass-bottom bridge 

 

Six-hundred feet above Shiniuzhai National Geological Park, China’s new glass-bottomed suspension bridge creaked and swayed in the wind as tourists made their way across, very slowly, some clinging to the guardrail or to one another, others crawling on all fours.
It’s a little scary, which is why perhaps it’s named Haohan Qiao, which translates to “Brave Men’s Bridge.” Architecture blogger Matt Hickman had another name for it, the “bridge I’d rather not cross when I come to it ….the biggest, baddest and most immobilizing glass-bottomed suspension bridge in all of China”
The structure, which opened to the public last week in China’s Hunan province, is 980 feet long suspended between two sheer cliffs. “Walkers see clear, stomach-churning views” of the ground below, reports the South China Morning Post.  “If you’re brave enough to cross it, you won’t want to look down.”
