East Taihang Glasswalk

East Taihang Glasswalk, Glass footbridge in East Taihang Mountains, China.

The East Taihang Glasswalk was a skywalk bridge in the East Taihang Mountains of Hebei Province, China. It stood 1,180 metres above sea level, measured 226 metres long and about 2 metres wide, with a glass floor over a drop.

The East Taihang Glasswalk opened in October 2017, 1,180 metres above sea level. After a series of deaths and injuries on glass bridges in Hebei, the province closed all 32 of its glass-bottomed skywalks, including this one, on 30 October 2019 while it examined their safety protocols.

Infrared sensors detect each pedestrian and trigger light decorations and sound effects that simulate glass cracking underfoot. The East Taihang administration apologized shortly after the October 2017 opening, saying the effect was designed to be "provocative". The walkway was one of several Chinese skywalks built to appear "invisible".

Visiting requires an advance reservation, and entry is not allowed during rain or low visibility. The site is reached from Xingtai city, where transport options toward the mountain area are available.

The floor panels are made of several layers of laminated glass that will not shatter under pressure, so the cracking effect visitors see is entirely digital, projected on a screen beneath their feet. This means the glass itself never breaks, even when it appears to.
