World's longest glass-bottom bridge —
Workers recently began installing glass on what will be the world's longest glass-bottom bridge. Due to open in May, it's 430 meters long, six meters wide and hovers over a 300-meter vertical drop in China's Hunan province.

Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon —
The bridge stretches over two dramatic cliffs in Hunan's Zhangjiajie National Forest Park.

Not a job for acrophobics —
Workers installing the bridge's glass demonstrate just how confident they are in their work by leaping into the air for a picture on January 27.

Weight limits —
Once complete, the bridge will be able to support a maximum of 800 people at a time.

World's highest bungee jump —
Construction workers walk along the bridge's skeletal framework. Not thrilling enough? The bridge will also reportedly feature the world's highest bungee jump.

An Israeli design —
Israeli architect Haim Dotan, who designed the Israel Pavilion for the Expo 2010 Shanghai, is behind Zhangjiajie's new glass-bottom bridge.

World's highest catwalk? —
Dotan said the bridge, digitally rendered here, will also serve as a runway for fashion shows. (The question, then, is where would the spectators sit?)

Zhangjiajie National Forest Park —
Zhangjiajie National Forest Park is China's first forest reserve. The area is home to striking sandstone and quartz cliffs.

Bridge construction —
No steel or concrete is being used to create the bridge's surface.
