Opened in 2016 as the highest and largest footbridge ever constructed, the Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon Glass Footbridge is also the most successful tourist footbridge ever created with several million tourists a year experiencing the 85-story high glass walk above the clouds. The Zhangjiajie Glass Footbridge was so popular that in the 3 years since it debuted more then 100 copies opened at natural scenic areas all over China.

The central suspension span is spectacular not only for having glass panels along its entire length but also for the tapered deck that is 15 meters wide at the ends of the bridge before narrowing to a width of only 6 meters in the center. The engineers pulled off this rare feat by curving the two main support cables inward, allowing the web of wire support stringers to soar outward in a V-shaped pattern that opens the bridge up to the sky like a giant butterfly. The cable support towers are 45 meters apart from each other on either side of the canyon and are enclosed in "rock" making them appear to be natural stone spires.

The 6 meter wide deck is amazing for being only .6 meters deep despite a length of 385 meters. This depth to span ratio of 625:1 is greater then any other stiffened deck suspension bridge in the world. The 2,200 ton steel and glass deck was tested at Hunan University in Changsha to withstand wind speeds of 6 m/s, or 201.6 km per hour.

The Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon Glass Footbridge is one of several attractions within the privately owned park that is located just 20 minutes east of the famous Zhangjiajie National Park that inspired the look of the Avatar movies. Other attractions include a cliffwalk, mountain elevator, slide, waterfalls, caves, a smaller low level glass bridge, zip line and a boat ride.

For most visitors, the visual highlight of a trip to the Zhangjiajie Glass Bridge will be viewing the gorge between their toes through glass panels 2 inches thick. But for those few who are brave enough to take their thrills to the next level, the ultimate fall awaits them on two separate platforms located several meters below the main deck. The west platform is where Bungy China runs the world's highest bungy jump at about 250 meters since late 2020. On the east platform they plan to install a slightly less intense decelerator drop ride where guests dangling from the end of a cord are quickly lowered to the bottom of the gorge at a constant rate of around 60 kilometers per hour that is not as fast or out of control as the bungy drop but no less exhilarating. http://www.bungychina.com/?lang=en
