If you love heights or just wish to get a crazy experience, it is time to walk on a glass bridge! Yes, glass bridge. This is definitely not for the fainthearted as it feels like you are walking on air as you look down to the clear glass.

1. Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon Glass Bridge

This is the world’s longest and highest glass bridge, opened to the public on 20 August 2016 at the Zhangjiajie National Forest Park in China’s Hunan Province. It is 460 metres long and 300 metres above ground, offering a stunning view of the Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon.

2. Tianmen Mountain Skywalk

Called the coiling dragon path, the 100-metre walkway has 99 turns around the side of the cliff face of Tianmen mountain. If you are a daredevil, you will get to enjoy the magnificent view of the Hunan countryside and the Tiananmen mountain.

3. Brave Men’s Bridge

In Hunan(yes, still in Hunan), there is a glass-bottomed suspension bridge in Shiniuzhai National Geological Park which is 180 metres high and almost 1000 feet long. It is made using glass panels that are 25 stronger than normal glass so tourists are free to jump around on the bridge(if you dare).
