China has officially unveiled the world's longest glass-bottomed suspension bridge in Hebei Province's Hongyagu Scenic Area which is 488 meter span (1,600 feet) bridge over a vertical drop of 218 meters (715 feet)
"Hongyagu glass suspension bridge marks the 2.0 era for China's glass-bottomed bridge," says Yang Minghua, the chairman of Hebei's Bailu Group, which created the span linking two peaks in the mountainous region of northeastern China.
The three-year construction project has given birth to several record-breaking claims including the largest span, the greatest transparency and "the most spectacular pedestrian glass suspension bridge."
The bridge is 4 meters wide (13 feet) and made of 1,077 glass panels that are four centimeters thick (almost 1.6 inches).
