If you’re scared of heights, you’re going to find that this walkway is going to scare you just looking at the photos! You aren’t alone, though, and many people would take one look at this adventure and simply turn the other way. After all, who needs to walk around 5000 feet in the air, anyway, right?
If, however, you are taking one look at this glass option and thinking “How fast can I get there?”, you aren’t alone either. All you have to do is take a look at the photos and see that there are other adventurers that are looking to get in some excellent time in the world of heights. You have to admit that it would make some incredible pictures, there’s no question about that. Can you stomach the heights? That, it seems, is the question that everyone is asking themselves when they look about going on it.
How long before base jumpers have a go?
Hell, NO!
I’m trying to figure out how picture number 4 was taken.
Selfie stick? I wouldn’t put my cell phone at risk like that.
Wacky Chinese!!
Where is it? I want to go!
ML/NJ
A fear of falling on the other hand is quite logical.
This is the stuff of my nightmares!
Even SOARIN at EPCOT made me ill!
Ah, no. You think my eyes are round NOW?
Theres a sharp bend in the walkway that you can see in the last shot from which one could get that angle shot. No obama-narci-stick needed.
Just awesome!
Picture Four was taken from the switchback shown in Picture Two.
That photo was probably taken at the bend. Anyway, not for me. Especially the see through floor. I am not a fan of heights unless I’m in an enclosed area (like an airplane or a building).
Lets go!!! Looks like a lot of Fun.
Imagine being one of those who constructed it. Wow.
I would walk it, but I would NOT lean on that wooden railing like that guy is. Would not.
If you look at pics 5 and 7 you see that the walkway juts out a bit just ahead of the pic 4 location, so the photo was taken from there. You can key on the point where the sidewall transitions from wood to glass.
Ditto. Coordinates, please!
I took my kids there in 2009.
It's in the middle of the desert, but they require you to park in a fenced parking lot where they charged $20.00.
Then, you cannot walk to the reception center - practically across the street, but they make you pay $30.00 per person - kids too - for the 'shuttle bus' that drives you about 100 yards.
So then you can walk on the bridge, right?
Ummm... no, not exactly. If you want to walk on the bridge, that's another $30.00 per person.
It is in the middle of nowhere, so there is noplace to eat... well... except for the on premises slop dispensary where you can pay a fortune for inedible canned slop heated in a microwave...
If ever there was an overpriced, ripoff tourist trap, this is it.
Cheaper to take the helicopter from Las Vegas.
Ah, I see it now. The picture-taker just moved the camera over far enough to create the optical illusion of hovering in front of the rail. Lol
If it were closer and I had the opportunity to walk it I might give it a try, just to say that I’ve done it. But I wouldn’t go through the trouble of traveling all the way to China for it.
