China is a real leader after the number of breathtaking resorts. Recently, the original bridge was erected on the Tiānmén mountain, called the 'way of faith'. The bridge is an absolutely transparent construction of high-strength glass, which was arranged along the slope above the tree-covered ravine. The walk on the glass bridge is a breathtaking adventure, which is definitely not recommendable for the nervous people and the tourists with Höhenangst.
The stretch of the bridge, which is located at the height of 1 200 meters, forms 60 meters. From the bridge, the panoramic view opens onto the National Park of Tianmen. From here you can take the beautiful photos. The bridge is characterized by the rather modest size. Its width is only 1 meter. The unique safety glass that makes up the bridge is incredibly solid and secure, and has a thickness of more than 6 cm.
Despite the extraordinary durability, not all tourists dare to step onto the bridge. The glass is very clean, so it seems during the walk that you enter the precipice. The original bridge will appeal to people who want to feel the strange feeling of weightlessness. During walks over the bridge one should pay attention to the cleanliness. This is the main rule which the tourists must observe. The cleaners, who are supposed to clean the bridge every day, are just as afraid as the visitors. The surface of the glass bridge can only be used with special shoe covers, since the glass can be scratched by ordinary shoes.
