Representatives
of Hunan Province in China unveiled plans for the longest and highest
glass-bottom bridge in the world. The bridge will be built in the
Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon by July. Zhangjiajie is the background
of the James Cameron’s film Avatar in 2009.
A famous Israeli architect, Haim Dotan, designed the bridge and
it will feature a fashion show runway, and the highest bungee jumping
platform in the world. The bridge is 430m long and 6m wide. Visitors
will be able to walk at a height of more than 300m.
The bridge
has been tested with strict standards to endure strong winds, earthquakes,
frost and internal pressure. It can accommodate up to 800 people
at one time.
The bridge will be also the first cable-suspended, cliff-side, transparent
structure in the world. The public will be able to visit the bridge
the following October.
