Changsha: The world's longest and highest glass bridge will open to visitors on Saturday in Zhangjiajie, central China's Hunan province, Xinhua News Agency reported.
The 430-meter long, 6-meter wide bridge, paved with 99 panes of three-layer transparent glasses, hangs between two steep cliffs 300 meters above the ground. The bridge has set 10 world records, spanning its design and construction, according to the management committee.
A maximum of 8,000 visitors are allowed to cross the bridge every day and a reservation must be made one day prior to visiting. Construction was completed in December. In July, a 2-ton truck was driven across in a show of the bridge's sturdiness.
