Whether you’re an adrenaline junkie or terrified of heights, you probably remember this announcement from China’s\u00a0Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon a couple\u00a0weeks ago:<\/p>\n

The world\u2019s highest and longest glass bridge just opened in China \u2014 and it looks terrifying. It hangs 980 feet above the floor of the deep, tree-lined Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon. The Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon Glass Bridge opened to the public on August 20th in the Hunan Province, and is now the tallest and longest glass bridge ever built. The walkway is more than 1400 feet long and 6 feet wide, and can accommodate 800 visitors at a time. Though the Zhangjiajie Bridge is now open to the public, construction is not entirely finished. By June 2017, courageous tourists will also be able to go bungee jumping off the side, in what will likely be the world\u2019s highest bungee jump. Three enormous swings are also expected to dangle from the bridge, the biggest of which could be 500 feet long. So if the thrill of crossing the world\u2019s highest glass bridge doesn\u2019t get your heart pumping, just wait until next summer.
