At that  time, the glass panels spanned only a few meters in the middle of the  otherwise wooden suspension bridge. Now all the remaining planks of wood  have been replaced with plates of thick glass, making the 300-meter  long bridge probably the longest glass-bottomed bridge in the world. Dangling  more than 180 meters high in the sky, the bridge definitely isn't for  the faint of heart. Tourists who took to the bridge when it opened to  the public on Thursday were literally too scared to move. Some dropped  to their knees after glancing down at the canyon floor below. Despite  the fragile look, the bridge has been designed to withstand high winds,  earthquakes, frost and the weight of 800 visitors at any given time. The bridge is the latest among glass-bottomed attractions in China  designed for thrill-seeking tourists. For instance, a glass elevator was  recently opened at a scenic site in Hubei province, right next to a  cliff. And earlier this year, a viewing platform in Chongqing became the  world's longest cantilever walkway with a glass bottom. There already  is a vertigo inducing glass-bottomed cliff-side pathway on the side of the Tianmen Mountain.  Meanwhile  there's another glass bridge being built in Zhangjiajie, Hunan that'll  be even higher and longer than the one at the Geopark. The new bridge  will be reportedly 300 meters high and 380 meters long. <img src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-kCPaCGo0Io4/VgadMYQbCwI/AAAAAAABHKg/m9pWN7WueW4/glass-suspension-bridge-china-9%25255B6%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-6DKEjwU9Jbk/VgadNng7GuI/AAAAAAABHKo/6snQaU5ZNrY/glass-suspension-bridge-china-7%25255B6%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-6PCw7YtskNs/VgadOpURPvI/AAAAAAABHKw/pE3G6GQLGos/glass-suspension-bridge-china-6%25255B6%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-UEdQeuJTfeA/VgadQE9HHcI/AAAAAAABHK4/uWjYSigMusg/glass-suspension-bridge-china-8%25255B6%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-S129HKqcN4U/VgadRILteII/AAAAAAABHLA/7oJ5McqvE5s/glass-suspension-bridge-china-1%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-KgbrwSU7zOY/VgadST2MuvI/AAAAAAABHLI/mxZ4dFqNcro/glass-suspension-bridge-china-2%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-rqAAgk5ZmDQ/VgadT3FesuI/AAAAAAABHLQ/YnHy4rOPEy4/glass-suspension-bridge-china-4%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-yz3yYWe4Lgw/VgadVL3qBeI/AAAAAAABHLY/SFeKo6UXOHo/glass-suspension-bridge-china-5%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
