<p>Located in the Shiniuzhai National Geological Park (images by <a href="http://photo.sina.cn/" target="_blank">Sina</a>), the bridge employees a new type of glass 25 times stronger than the ordinary variety, achieving its structural purpose despite being just 1 inch thick.</p>

<p>Framed in steel, the converted bridge previously held wooden walking platforms, but to compete with the rise of <a href="https://weburbanist.com/2015/08/26/crossing-the-divide-10-totally-atypical-bridge-designs/2/">glass walkways</a> around the world these were swapped out for glass equivalents.</p>

<p>While there are other similarly glass-bottomed bridges arcing out over canyons or crossing natural expanses, this is the longest&nbsp;glass suspension bridge&nbsp;to date. Its engineers have assured the public that it is safe, even if feisty tourists jump on the panels.</p>
<p><a href="#" data-featherlight="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/cracked-panel-china.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-85006" src="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/cracked-panel-china-468x624.jpg" alt="cracked panel china" width="468" height="624"></a></p>
<p>Update: just days after opening, a mug dropped by a tourist has already cracked one of the glass panels, though without compromising its structural integrity.&nbsp; Lee Dong Hai posted about his experience on&nbsp;social media: &ldquo;I was almost at the end and suddenly I heard a sound, my foot shook a little. I looked down and I saw that there was a crack in the floor.&rdquo;</p>
