and want to be photographed somewhere completely different,
this could be the bridge for you, all
images © Architectural Design & Research Institute of Zhejiang University,
behold the new glass-bottom bridge in China’s Huangchuan Three Gorges Scenic Area, which now
ranks as the longest in the world,
at a staggering 526.14
meters in length,
the
structure is the project of the firm Architectural Design & Research Institute of Zhejiang
University and looms 201 meters above the Lianjiang River,
bright
red towers mark either end, with an 8.8-meter-wide deck running between them.
Three layers of 4.5-centimetre-thick glass lined with steel compose the transparent
bridge, which is suspended with cables and can hold 500 people, I hate to say it, but with my fear of heights I do not care how long the detour is to miss using the bridge, I would take it!
