A massive 632-meter-high glass suspension bridge between two mountains opened Friday (29), in Vietnam, which conveys the sense of walking in the void 150 meters above the forest.
Visitor Nguyen Thi Trang described, “Looking down is a little scary at first, but you have to go forward with confidence, and that’s great.”

The tourist attraction is located in Son La province, northwest of the country, which is known as Bach Long (“White Dragon” in Vietnamese). The structure extends on one side of the mountain until it ends with a suspension bridge over a picturesque valley.

The base of the bridge is made of French-made glass, with a maximum capacity of 450 people at a time. According to operators, it is the largest glass structure in the world, surpassing the suspension bridge in Guangdong, China, which is 526 meters long.
In May, representatives of the Guinness Book of Records will announce whether or not they will endorse the new mark.
