Beijing : The world's longest glass bridge made in China has been opened for public from December 24, 2017.

Material - The bridge has been made of 1,077 panes of transparent glass with each being four centimeters thick and weighs a total of 70 metric tons.

Experience -  The main motive of the bridge is to thrill people walking on it, this is the reason it has been designed in a way that it swings a little when people walks to its centre.

Similar bridges - Last year, a 430 meters long and 6 meters wide bridge opened last year in the Grand Canyon Scenic Area in Zhangjiajie, Hunan province. Located in the UNESCO world heritage site, it was temporarily closed after a huge influx of tourists. It was said to be the longest and highest bridge of its kind in the world.
