Glass walkway China's Tianmen mountain park




Finally completed the new trail path in China's Tianmen mountain national park offers visitors an unusual experience:  the floor and rails of the pathway are composed of glass, offering walkers a vertigo-inducing look at the sheer drops and wilderness below. The walkway spans three feet wide, composed of glass 2.5-inches thick.

Measuring approximately 61 meters long, the walkway is raised into the air at about 1430 meters, inviting comparisons to the grand canyon 'Skywalk' in Arizona, USA. 


Take a look at these pictures and to increase the goose bump feeling I inserted a picture of one of the construction workers on-site.
