Wansheng Glass Platform
万盛云端廊桥
Wansheng, Chongqing, China
404 feet high / 123 meters high
282 foot span / 86 meter span
2017
There may be higher glass platforms in the world but none cantilevers out from a cliff longer then the 86 meter span of the Wansheng Glass Platform that opened in 2017 near Wansheng, Chongqing. Located within the popular mountain tourist area known as the black mountain valley, thousands of city dwellers from Chongqing City take the 2 hour drive to experience the region's deep karst valleys, rivers and cliffs.
The giant A-frame truss platform is essentially a single tower cable stayed bridge with a design capacity of only 80 people at a time. There is also an older and smaller glass platform approximately 75 meters high next to the larger one that was constructed at least a year earlier. Other attractions include a swing, a footbridge and walkways with missing planks that will challenge your fear of heights.
Also nearby is the Wansheng stone forest and cave.
