Some visitors were seen crawling on hands and knees over the 430 metre bridge which soars 300 metres above the river below. Set in a beautiful part of Hunan Province the bridge was built between two cliffs in the beautiful Zhangjiajie Park, which is said to have inspired the scenery for the sci-fi movie "Avatar."
The structure was designed by Israeli architect Haim Dotan. If the bridge itself is not scary enough, later it will also boast the world's highest bungee jump and will also reportedly serve as a runway for fashion shows.
Completed in December, the bridge was reported to have cost $3.4m to build. It is paved with 99 panes of three-layered transparent glass and is 6 metres wide.
Already thousands of tourists have flocked to the bridge to test their bravery, although officials are quick to point out just how strong the construction is. Reporters were invited to try breaking the thick glass, and if that wasn't enough a car was driven across as well. Even when a pane of the glass was cracked, it was still strong enough to support a car full of people.
Still, only 8,000 people are allowed to cross over each day, and then only in batches of 800 at a time, so if this type of thrill is your thing it may pay to book well in advance!
