Zhangjiajie Glass Bridge, Glass footbridge in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, China.
The bridge spans 430 meters across two mountain cliffs at a height of 300 meters above the canyon floor with transparent glass panels.
Israeli architect Haim Dotan designed this engineering masterwork, which opened in August 2016 as the longest glass-bottomed bridge in the world.
The structure received the name Yuntiandu in Chinese, referring to its appearance as a white silk path floating between mountains and clouds.
The bridge operates daily from 09:00 to 15:30, requiring advance ticket booking and presenting valid identification for entrance to the facility.
The structure contains 120 glass panels measuring 5.1 centimeters in thickness and features a 285-meter bungee jumping platform beneath its surface.
