- ZHANGJIAJIE, CHINA - China has recently completed the world’s highest and longest glass bridge, giving the country another thrilling and scary tourist attraction.
The glass bridge stretches across a canyon in Zhangjiajie, a national park in China’s Hunan province. It was designed by Israeli architect Haim Dotan.
The length of the bridge is 430 meters, slightly shorter than the height of Malaysia’s Petronas Towers. Authorities say it can hold up to 800 visitors.
Its glass floor is made of 5-cm-thick laminated glass, a type of safety glass that remains held together by a vinyl interlayer if it shatters. A total of 99 laminated glass panels are installed on the bridge, which can support up to 800 visitors.
There is no official opening date for the glass bridge, but the South China Morning Post reported that it is likely to be open to the public in July.

Too much racial envy here again.
it's just stupid people they think they are superior to everything. Don't pay attention to them
then U are the shit of rat,lol
Hi I love your videos
What does it take to build the worlds longest glass bridge? It takes balls!
its made in china... so dont bother using it
that true lol
uh oh! hope it holds up better than their escalators.
once its ready to use. prepare your pens for body count
Everything is made in China... Even you..
BUT you are already using it in order to make this comment....low IQ has no cure.
fuck never walking over that o.o
This is great, Only problem it was made in China..... and we know what that means.
It was built for the Chinese tourist anyway.
That it's cheap!
yes it is built for Chinese only, and chinese did not invite you to visit, so no need for u to be worried~
sun wallace No one said they were inviting people here. I just feel bad for the Chinese people, because there government has found one more way to kill its citizens.
Yeah. You need to throw away all the stuffs in your home that are made in China.
Great place for an epic kung fu fight.
Oh hell no. You can't trust Chinese engineers.
Americans designed it and had it build in the great canyon.
Ummmm
Its so scary... even more because its made in china....
who's the architect ?
I will walk on it what day will it open on July
They built a wall that held up fairly well. How about this bridge though?
excellent structure.
just booked a flight to China and packed my suitcase with rocks
Nice plan except that you don't have the balls to do it.
BBC sent a reporter to the bridge and they smashed the panels with a hammer a million times and talked about their stress testing (its on youtube)
whatever numba this is
Serious questions, anyone knows how bridges like this are created from one point to another? I mean they start on the right side and then take the cables down and walk all the way across then climb up to the left side pull the wires tight and tie em up?
i would only try this if its made in India...Jarhind..............भारत सबसे बड़ा है
you already know where this is going
How the hell is 6 meters represented by 12 people? A person's arm span is usually the same as their height, so a person with 50cm arm span would be about a foot and a half tall only. Are you measuring in gnomes or something?
79th view yes!
Here are so many evil person at comment ,
Try to open your small eye ,seeing what you never see that even in dreaming .
How small are the people used at 0:28 ? 6 meters wide?!?! This makes the the 12 people used in the illustration like 1.6 feet tall.
I've never been to China, but I hear people there are shorter than Americans, so I guess this checks out. /s
If I'm to propose to someone, it's gonna be here.
China you can't even make a normal functioning escalator and now this?
must be to help with their population
alright now take guesses for how long until it cracks mine in 1 week
Lol how could this go wrong
our economy failing, build giant glass bridge!
It's all fun until someone dies walking across that thing
I was thinking the same thing!
Do things at your own risk. Or you can watch Disney. It is safe.
so they are trusting a bridge made of glass when people die there when metal caves in and people get grinded up by escalators
someone drop a coffee cup see if it breaks
i wouldnt walk that death bridge even if america or U.S or europian make those bridges its scary =((
i normally wonder wat's wrong with some people.......... "They never admit defeat"....China has made theirs and it's very smart and attractive... For those saying chinese items never last, definitely from a mile one can tell where you're from.. but the fact remains and we know it well, Not that Chinese items are "Fake", some countries which want to be acknowledged as the best design those items and then labels them "made in China" so that the user can think it's from China when it's ruined...
if China's items never last long, then why are corporations like Apple, Intel, Microsoft and Nike running and establishing their firms there....
God those Chinese are smart... but still *nooope*
A glass bridge *MADE* *IN* *CHINA*. What could go wrong?
Looks attractive, gets your attention...
Look at the label: Made In China...
Eeek, you ponder the possibilities...
Cheap materials, Careless work etc etc
Do you knowingly put yourself in a situation that could end quite easily end your life ?
If they just stick to cooking sweet n sour chicken Hong Kong style I would be happy !
4th like alright#
Of course it's in China
Slippery When Wet
💦keep sliding💦
Good luck with that. What could go wrong?
Oh fuck I'm not ready to die yet! I'm not walking that bridge if I ever visit there and yes I'm Asian XD
there will be people who would try to break it by jumping on.
when the West get a taste of this bridge, there will be someone who would want to get notice by doing either Parkour, skateboarding, bike tricks, bungee jumping and stupid shit.
you kind of late here buddy
I'd walk across it! They might let me do it only once tho... cuz it'd be covered in fear-shit by the time I got to the other side...
Use thors hammer to shatter this bridge.
Leave it to NomoNews for racist comments
no no
HELL NO
hell no what
Ah 😵 Hell Nah ✋
why cant they just construct a normal bridge???
cuz yolo
DragonCore =,=
Because as a tourist attraction it can bring in a lot more money.
The-Mike_D because of money can cause death!!!...im not a hater but this is facts...guess comment wont change anything
I am thinking the same. Why did people build the empire building instead of a small cottage.
I hope it breaks or something

What is the name of the Chinese town with 100% HIV population?
Let me get the fact straight. China has far fewer AIDs carriers than US despite its much larger population.
PhyXs Vision
There is no Chinese town named America. Try again.
Nan Xing
China has fewer HIV infected people, true.
China currently has twice the infection rate as the USA, true.
Your response didn't answer the initial question, what town?
It's in the central province of Henan.
Here is the news report:
www.theguardian.com/world/2010/dec/01/china-blood-selling-scandal-hiv
PhyXs Vision For a PhD Student in America, I think you should apply yourself a little more when making insults. They're rather basic, make the effort.
+David Thompson Use your brain a little bit. What is the credibility of the news? The news claimed tens of thousands infected, but where did that number come from? And 100% HIV population town? That's statistically impossible. This is not US, where Obama got literally 100% votes from some counties.
