Another glass-bottomed skywalk is set to open in China on Friday, giving adrenaline junkies their fix. After an eight-month construction period, the world’s longest glass circular bridge is finally ready to welcome daring visitors to Fuxi Shan tourist attraction in Xinmi City, central China's Henan Province.
The platform stands 360 meters above the ground, and protrudes 30 meters out of a cliff – that’s nine meters longer than the glass bridge in the Colorado Grand Canyon in the United States, known by some as the "Eighth Wonder of the World."
