世界上最高最長玻璃橋將設全球最高蹦極臺

World's Longest And Highest Glass-Bottom Bridge Promises Planet's Highest Bungee Jump!

世界上最高最長玻璃橋將設全球最高蹦極臺

Earlier this month, the officials of China's Hunan Province revealed what they believe will be a new "Wonder of the World" - the planet's longest and highest glass-bottom bridge. When complete, the 430m (1,214 ft) long and 6m wide structure will connect the two summits across the Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon.

這個月初，中國湖南省官方向外界展示了可能成爲世界上又一創舉——世界最長、最高的玻璃橋。建成之後，這座全長430米（1214英尺），6米寬的大橋將連接橫跨張家界大峽谷兩個峯頂。

For those seeking an extra adrenaline rush there will also be a bungee jump - and not just any ordinary one, but the world's highest! Situated in the middle of the bridge it promises a leap that is a whopping 60m (197 ft) higher than the current record holder, the AJ Hackett bungee jump from China's Macau Tower.

對於喜歡追求刺激的人來說，蹦極臺也值得期待——這並不是普通的蹦極臺，而是全球最高的！蹦極臺將設在橋中央，下落的距離有60米（197英尺），比AJ Hackett從中國澳門塔上跳下的那個還要高。

The Israeli architectural firm of Haim Dotan that designed the impressive structure asserts that the bridge which will open to the public in October, will be able to accommodate up to 800 people at a time! In addition to being a popular tourist destination, Dotan also envisions it being used as a catwalk for fashion shows.

設計此橋的以色列渡堂海建築公司表示，大橋將於十月份對外開放，可同時容納800人！渡堂海還預言，除了成爲新的旅遊勝地之外，大橋還能用作時尚發佈會的T臺。

This is not the first heart-stopping glass structure constructed in China. Earlier this year, the Longgang National Geological Park in Chongqing,unveiled the world's longest glass-bottomed cantilever skywalk. The $5.6 million USD structure that dangles precariously on the edge of a cliff stretches out an astounding 1,010 m (3,314 ft), offering stunning views to those that dare to walk on thin air!

此橋並非中國首例令人心跳的玻璃建築。年初，重慶龍港國家地質公園還開放了世界最長的玻璃廊橋。這個玻璃廊橋價值560萬美元，懸扣在海拔1010米（3314英尺）的絕壁之巔，絕妙景觀，盡收眼底。

Even more terrifying is the Tianmenshan crystal glass skywalk in Zhangjiajie. The 3ft wide 2.5-inch thick walkway that has runs alongside the edge of the mountain sits 4,700 ft above sea level and is defintely not for the faint hearted!

張家界天門山玻璃棧道會更加刺激。這條3英尺寬，2.5英尺厚的棧道環繞在海拔4700英尺的山間，玩的就是心跳！

Besides the glass structures, Zhangjiajie, a 56 square-kilometer designated tourist park inside the bigger Wulingyuan Scenic Area has one more claim to fame. It was the inspiration for the breathtaking planet of Pandora in James Cameron's 2009 blockbuster film, Avatar!

除玻璃建築外，張家界碩大的武陵源風景區還有一個佔地56平方千米的公園值得一提，那就卡梅隆導演風靡全球的電影《阿凡達》中美輪美奐的潘多拉星的取景地。
