張家界將開放世界最長最高玻璃橋

Cue the sweaty palms.

這可能會讓你嚇得手心出汗。

Travelers will soon be able to walk across the world's longest and highest glass-bottom bridge, which spans two cliffs in China's Hunan province.

遊客們很快就可以體驗這座世界最長最高的玻璃橋了。這座橋建在中國湖南省，橫跨兩座懸崖。

This week, workers were photographed installing the bridge's first piece of glass.

本週，工人被拍到正在橋上安放第一塊玻璃。

set against dramatic landscapes in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, the bridge is 430 meters long, six meters wide and hovers over a 300-meter vertical drop.

這座橋懸於半空，全長430米，寬6米，垂直高度達300米。站在橋上面可以一覽張家界國家森林公園的壯麗景觀。

Construction on the bridge was originally expected to be finished at the end of 2015. It's now set to open in May this year.

玻璃橋原本預計將在2015年底完工，最新消息稱將於今年5月份開放。

World's highest catwalk?

世界最高的T臺？

Designed by Israeli architect Haim Dotan, the glass-bottom bridge will also feature the world's highest bungee jump and serve as a runway for fashion shows.

這座玻璃橋由以色列建築師渡堂海設計。橋上還設有世界最高的蹦極跳臺，同時還可作爲時裝表演的T臺。

Hanging above Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon, it will be able to hold up to 800 people at once.

這座橋懸掛在張家界大峽谷的上空，一次可以容納800名遊客。

Digital renderings of the bridge highlight the architectural firm's vision -- to build a glass structure that fades into the clouds.

玻璃棧道的數字效果圖展現了建築公司的願景——建一座高聳入雲的玻璃建築。

Stunning as the view is, tourists will likely tread carefully.

儘管橋上美景震撼人心，遊客們在行走的時候還是會小心翼翼。

In October last year, cracks appeared in a mountainside glass walkway in Yuntaishan Scenic Park, in China's central Henan province, just two weeks after opening.

去年10月，河南省雲臺山世界地質公園新建的玻璃棧道開通後僅僅兩週就出現了裂紋。

The incident sent visitors running and screaming in panic, according to witnesses.

目擊者稱，事故發生時遊客們奔跑、尖叫，全都嚇壞了。

Park officials said the damage was superficial and posed no threat to safety.

公園方面解釋說，玻璃棧道的裂紋只是表面破損，不會對安全構成威脅。
