Hi everyone and welcome to only in Asia!

ah the Grand Canyon Angel Falls
China's jajajaja canyon hunan province

or natural wonders of the
world with delicate environments

but you know what they lack

massive man-made structures
built over them to allow thousands of tourists

to enrich the local ecosystem

at least that's what they thought in China

the world's longest glass-bottom to bridge

just opened in the aforementioned
canyon in China

part of the mountain range that
provided inspiration for the movie Avatar

no not the part about the eviction
of indigenous peoples

just the beautiful landscapes bit

the bridge is over 1,400 feet long
and hangs almost a thousand feet

above the canyon floor

the bridge will host the
world's highest bungee jump

and also serve as a runway for paint

I meant fashion shows a runway
for fashion shoots that's true

the forget about the planes

now there have been some safety
concerns over glass-bottom bridges in China

visitors ran in fears cracks appeared
in another glass bottom bridge

that you in timeout in last
October

this created a PR challenge
for the judge a bridge

owners have used all sorts of methods
such as driving a car over the bridge

and inviting journalists to take a
sledgehammer to the glass to prove that

while the top layer of glass
may absorb the shock and crack

giving a scary appearance

the layers underneath do remain intact

so maybe the bridges are safe after all

hopefully safer than China's escalators

but I can't help feeling sorry
for the local wildlife

they will be treated to eight thousand
tourists marching across the canyon every day

you know I'm kind
of a traditionalist

and I prefer my wild places to be kept wild
with a minimum amount of human development

i would much prefer to walk across this rickety
looking Bridge Mountain investing Canada

but you know China does
have some places like that

this is what some called China's
most dangerous hiking trail

that wash and just a few wooden
boards and chains the safety

much more up my alley

but i guess these glass bridges may provide

those who wouldn't normally
experience the beauty of the mountains

a chance to experience it

which i guess is positive

i just can't stand the sight
of swarms of tourists

so what do you guys
think of these bridges a good idea

are you concerned about their safety

would you walk across one

if you need me I'll be at Mount Nimbus
