Recently, American Vlogger Jack visited the Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon Glass Bridge constructed by CSCEC.
The Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon Glass Bridge stretches 430 meters and towers approximately 300 meters above the canyon floor. At the time of its completion, it was the tallest and longest pedestrian glass bridge with largest span-to-height ratio. It is also the world’s first fully transparent cable-stayed glass bridge built over a canyon. The bridge was recognized as one of the 11 most spectacular bridges globally by CNN and has received numerous accolades, including the prestigious Arthur G. Hayden medal—often dubbed the "Nobel Prize of bridge engineering"—and the National Quality Engineering Award in China.
The bridge can accommodate up to 800 visitors at a time, with its deck composed of 99 panels of tempered laminated glass. Without hawsers, the bridge offers visitors an unparalleled panoramic view of the surrounding natural beauty.
In addition to providing an extraordinary experience for both domestic and international tourists, the glass bridge has significantly boosted the local economy, creating jobs and supporting the livelihoods of people in the mountainous region.
