Glass footbridge in Zhangjiajie, China

Just 13 days after the Zhangjiajie Glass Bridge opened in 2016 in Hunan, China, it was forced to close. Not because it was faulty but because the attendance rates far exceeded capacity. Built to hold 800 people safely, daily attendance was expected to be around 8,000. When 80,000 showed up each day after it opened, authorities needed some time to reevaluate what exactly they had. Parking, ticketing, and customer service were boosted before the bridge reopened.

Designed by Israeli architect Haim Dotan, it was always meant for tourists. Spanning 1,410 feet across the canyon between two mountain cliffs in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, more than 120 glass panels allow unparalleled views 980 feet straight down. Should you feel daring, you could swing underneath the bridge or take the plunge from the world's highest bungee jump. Management touts that the bridge set 10 world records for design and construction and, at the time, it was the longest bridge of its kind in the world. That honor has since passed to the bridge at the Huangchuan Three Gorges Scenic Area in China's Guangdong province, which spans 1,726 feet.

中国张家界的玻璃人行桥

2016年，张家界玻璃桥在中国湖南开通仅13天后，就被迫关闭。不是因为它有问题，而是因为出勤率远远超过了容量。该建筑可安全容纳800人，预计每天的出勤人数约为8000人。当它开放后每天有8万人出现时，当局需要一些时间来重新评估他们到底拥有什么。在大桥重新开放之前，停车、售票和客户服务都得到了加强。

它由以色列建筑师哈伊姆·多坦设计，一直是为游客设计的。张家界国家森林公园两座悬崖峭壁之间的峡谷全长1410英尺，120多块玻璃板可以让你直达980英尺，欣赏无与伦比的美景。如果你有勇气，你可以在桥下荡秋千，或者从世界上最高的蹦极跳下去。管理层称，这座桥创造了10项设计和施工世界纪录，是当时世界上同类桥梁中最长的。这座桥位于中国广东省黄川三峡风景区，全长1726英尺，自那以后，这座桥就获得了这一荣誉。
