A 100-meter-long and 1.6-meter-wide glass ‪skywalk‬ in ‪Zhangjiajie‬‪ Tianmenshan‬ National Park opened to visitors on Monday. The Coiling Dragon Cliff skywalk is the third glass skywalk on the Tianmen Mountain in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park in central ‪China‬'s Henan province.

It oversees the "Tianmen Tongtian Avenue", featuring a total of 99 road turns, layers after another, known as "the first highway wonders".

After climbing those 110 foot areal ladders for 20 years that ain't for me any more. Let the young at heart have fun.

I get nervous standing on a step ladder. Not for me - nope - not for me.

[amberjack1234]

I use to could climb them water towers for rescues and climb out 110' ladder truck ladder but I definitely could not do it now that's for sure.

Try the parachute jump towers at Ft. Benning, Georgia. That's a whole lotta fun really. Make sure your knees and ankles are not locked or you might just leave them in the sand.

The POLITICS of the glass-bottomed bridge - Israeli's go FREE! from the Shanghaiist

 

Israelis can walk across the world's longest and highest glass-bottomed bridge for free this year

 

Quote

What better way for Israeli citizens to celebrate 25 years of diplomatic ties between Israel and the PRC than by taking a walk across the world's longest and highest glass-bottomed bridge?

 

From March 21st to December 31st this year, Zhangjiajie is allowing Israeli passport-holders to cross the record-setting bridge in Hunan province for free. Talk about building bridges between two peoples.

. . .

 

This is presumably exactly the kind of thing that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was referring to when he declared that Israel and China are "a marriage made in heaven" during his meeting with Xi Jinping in Beijing on Tuesday. While the two countries have had their differences in the past, particularly over Palestine, Netanyahu encouraged China to play a bigger role in the Middle East and "assume its rightful place... on the world stage."

China is building so many of those things now a days it is just a matter of time until one of them hits the bottom. They already had to close one of them for maintenance/inspection/replacement of one of the panels didn't they?

[Allon]

I mean really. What could go wrong?

[Randy W]

Yeah. RIGHT!

No sweat atall. It's jes one step after the other. I'd walk that cakewalk skywalk with ease. I'd be the guy in the sport parachute timidly walking 50 feet behind point man Carl.
