Zhangjiajie Glass Bridge in Zhangjiajie, Hunan, China

This glass bridge stretches for 1,400 feet and hovers 1,000 feet above a portion of the Zhangjiajie National Forest Park. It’s considered the longest and highest glass bridge on the planet and is so strong that it once withstood a car being driven over top it…after someone smashed one of the glass panels on it with a sledgehammer! It’ll definitely get your adrenaline pumping for a while when you take a trip over it.

Tianmen Mountain in Zhangjiajie, Hunan, China

Located just 50 miles away from the Zhangjiajie glass bridge, this glass walkway hangs off the side of a cliff and is about 4,600 feet off the ground. It has three different sections for people to enjoy, including the breathtaking Coiled Dragon Cliff that stretches over 325 feet long.
