China is set to unveil the longest and highest glass-bottomed bridge in the world in July.

At 430-meter-long, six-meter-wide and 300 meters above the valley floor, the glass bridge will span across the canyon in Hunan's Zhangjiajie scenic spot.

Upon completion, it will be the world's longest glass bridge without the use of any reinforced concrete. Designed by architect Haim Dotan, the bridge deck is wholly paved with transparent glass and can carry 800 people. Built among high mountains and canyon, it also has a bungee platform in the center.
