Height: 360 m (1,180 ft)
Opened in August 20, 2016

To build the bridge, engineers erected 4 support pillars on the edges of the walls of the canyon. The bridge is made of a metal frame with more than 120 glass panels. Each of these panels is 3-layered and is a 2-inch-thick slab of tempered glass. There are 3 long swings attached to the underside of the bridge. Also there is a provision for making a 285 metres (935 ft) bungee-jump. This is considered to be highest such jump in the world.[3]
