Glass bridges are the national passion of the Chinese. Nowhere in the world there are so many such structures as in China. They are very popular, and their number increases annually in geometric progression.

Today these bridges in the trend in China. Their construction costs inexpensively, and the effect of the influx of tourists quickly pays for investments. Glass paths are equally claimed here over steep breakage and viewing areas with glass floor.

Glass bridges

one) . It is located at an altitude of about 300 m, has a length of more than 400 m and is able to simultaneously withstand up to eight hundred people.

Glass coating of the bottom of the structure was subjected to a huge number of safety tests for pedestrians, incl. on resistance to high and low ambient temperatures, their sharp drops, to a strong wind, etc.

Because of the floor of the glass, the bridge is similar to the invisibility, and pedestrians appear the feeling that they go through the air, soaring in the clouds. But such a journey is not under the power of children and people suffering from actuophobia - the fear of height. They can have a nervous attack.

2) The second bridge in Hunan Province can be found in Zhangjiajie Park. It is called bold bridge. It has a length of about 300 m and hangs between two elevations at an altitude of about 180 m.

Previously, the bridge was made of wood, but gradually the interest of tourists and holidaymakers in the park began to fade towards him, and a modern decision was made: to make it from glass. At first they conducted an experiment: covered with glass a small part.

Park's visitors liked to walk high above the ground in the clouds, then it was decided to make the whole pedestrian pleasure bridge. Since then, he enjoys deafening popularity.

Experts are confident that the glass of glass in 6 cm thick is completely safe, you can jump on it. But few people are solved on such actions. The absolute majority of pedestrians move along the bridge, closing their eyes or crawl.

3) "Cracked" Glass Bridge in China The Thaihanshan Mountain is located at an altitude of almost 1,200 meters. In fact, the appearance of "cracks" is an attraction or special effect, the way to check pedestrians once again for courage.

It is important to note that a myocardial infarction may simply happen from such a special effect. Local authorities believe that it is just a game "provocation", but continue to criticize among the population.

But in 2015, the glass with a special effect actually began to crack, it was removed and repaired. But after repair, they set the "crackling" glass, explaining this great popularity of the attraction in the audience.

4) In the south of China, a new glass bridge appeared, it will be able to go through it exclusively the most bold and reckless people. It passes around the sheer cliff at an altitude of more than 1,500 meters, called the "Appears Dragon" and leads to the mountain Tianmene.

The length of the bridge is more than 100 meters, it is narrow - about 1.5 meters. Passing along it, pedestrians see paintings of the surrounding nature of extraordinary beauty: the underlying valley and mountains floating past the clouds.

Glass viewing platforms and trails

1) Next to Beijing is the famous Shilin Forest. This forest features a platform with a floor of glass. It has an area of \u200b\u200bmore than 400 km. m, the height of more than 400 m and gives a wonderful review on Shilin: huge stones mixed with trees.

2) In the south of China in the mountains in 2015, a path of a long over 250 m was opened. It is located on the head side of the mountain, and in order to go through it, a considerable courage, which is so like to demonstrate the Chinese.

On the presented video, you can see a unique moment as the famous Chinese glass bridge, located at an altitude of more than one kilometer around the mountain in the province of Hebei, began to crack under the legs of the tourist, which falls from fear and starts screaming. (website)

At the same time, the transparent fear road is not just slightly cracks, as it was, for example, two years ago on a similar attraction, only in the province of Henan (then the visitor dropped onto the coating), but begins to be covered with numerous large cracks, publishing a characteristic sound of breaking glass.

However, on the video, truly affects not only this: to the greatest surprise of everyone who perceived this critical moment with a fading of the heart, another tourist coming in the opposite direction, calmly passes along a dangerous portion of the bridge, without paying the slightest attention to its critical state. Is that extremal?

It turns out no, just a visitor, apparently, it turns out to be on this road of fear not the first time or already experienced such a special effect. Essence earlier, because there are several of them on the bridge.

The organizers of this attraction probably came across the creation of such "extremal special effects" real situations when visitors in fact were inadvertently dropped on the glass something hard, which was slightly cracked. Of course, not so effectively, but even it caused panic from tourists. And you can imagine what is happening with them when the glass coating is not just cracking, but begins literally spreading under the legs!

This, of course, is smartly invented, says one of the Internet users, just when creating such effects is not taken into account, apparently, the fact that some people have a weak heart - here and to the heart attack.

But most of the network users approved the Chinese fiction, rightly putting forward an argument in its protection that people with a weak heart, very fearful heights, will never go to such an attraction at all. Please note, they say that mainly on this road of fear - young people, and if the elderly come across, as a rule, it is not Europeans for which the fear of height is especially characteristic.

Well, quite reasonably, especially since, according to the words of the representative of the district administration of East Tajanshan, where this fear road is located with stunning special effects, the latter attract tourists even more. People love to experience fear, for example, horror films enjoy mad success. Take the same real danger - this is an even brighter and unforgettable feeling that, apparently, is experiencing a tourist who fell on his knees from horror when the glass coating was shred under his legs ...

Glass bridge is not only beautiful, but also stylish. So the Chinese decided, and built an unusual glass structure in the province of Hunan. After construction of the bridge, with its help, the two sides of the mountains were connected, and also played a lot of tourists.

Tourist draws

Immediately after opening, a funny incident occurred on the extraordinary bridge.

Tourists were heard, but then relaxed a little, because in their direction the bridge calmly walked passer.

A day to look at the bridge and 8,000 people can go through it. Before discovery, the structure was tested for strength more than 100 times. Opening the sights occurred in 2016. The first time people were on duty near the ticket office in front of the bridge at night to buy a ticket for an excursion.

Now everyone is accustomed to the new miracle of engineering thought, and the excitement around him a little verse. At the same time, 800 people can pass along the bridge. But for security purposes, the bandwidth reduced to 600. After all, the bridge itself is protected by about 200 guards.

The object is open to visitors from 7 am and up to 17 pm. Often, it happens that by 8 am all the tickets to the glass bridge are already uploaded, so it is worth planning a tour of it in advance.

On the Internet, the video of the video from China is gaining popularity, on which a man walking along the glass bridge in a panic falls when the cracks begin under its legs on the glass. Fortunately, everything turned out - the cracks were just an inventive special effect added to one of the sections of the bridge.

The guide with a cry drops on the glass, but the cracks continue to be crawled and under his hands. A man in a panic is trying to crash.

MiG video scattered by a large number of Chinese media.

Fortunately, the frightened pedestrian cracks were just the result of the work of special panels installed on one of the sections located at an altitude of 1,200 meters of the bridge. The panels react to pedestrian steps, displaying the image of the crawling cracks and making the characteristic sound.

From the bridge located along the sheer cliff, an impressive look opens.
