's finally happened.


The much-heralded "world's highest and longest"
glass-bottomed bridge has opened to visitors in
central China.


It connects two mountain cliffs in what are
known as the Avatar mountains (the film was shot
here) in Zhangjiajie, Hunan province.

Bridge in numbers


Completed in December, the 430m-long bridge
cost $3.4m (£2.6m) to build and stands 300m
above ground, state news agency Xinhua reported.
It has been paved with 99 panes of three-layered
transparent glass.


And according to officials, the 6m-wide bridge -
designed by Israeli architect Haim Dotan - has
already set world records for its architecture and
construction.


The year of glass bridges
Glass bridges in China have been a popular craze
for the daring photo opportunities they provide.
Events like mass yoga displays and even weddings
have been staged on several such bridges.


One couple celebrated their special day by
dangling in mid-air from a bridge in Pingjiang,
also located in Hunan province.


But how safe is it?
This was the question on everyone's minds as the
city geared up for the bridge's official opening.
But officials have staged high-profile events to try
and reassure the public of the bridge's safety.


Officials sent in sledgehammers and even drove a
car, filled with passengers, across the bridge earlier
this year.


The BBC's Dan Simmons was invited to take a bash
at the bridge.


Park officials have said a maximum of 8,000
visitors will be allowed on the bridge each day.


So those wanting to add another thrill to their
bucket list are strongly encouraged to book their
slots in advance.
