Shilinxia, Glass viewing platform in Pinggu District, China
The Shilinxia platform extends 33 meters over a deep gorge, standing 400 meters above the valley floor with views of sandstone formations below.
The glass observation deck, constructed with titanium alloys, marked a significant advancement in engineering when it opened on April 30, 2016.
The gorge holds traditional Chinese folklore about Xiagu and Sanlang, two lovers who became immortal guardians of the local residents.
Located 70 kilometers northeast of central Beijing, the viewing platform provides clear views of Huangsongyu Reservoir, Diaowo village, and Shilin River.
The glass platform sways gently with the wind while visitors walk across its surface, creating an experience at 800 meters above sea level.
