Cloud Bridge or Glass Bridge

One of the most recent additions to China's tourism offerings is the Cloud Bridge, also known as the Glass Bridge, located in Yunyang, Chongqing. This remarkable structure holds the distinction of being the world's longest cantilever bridge. This transparent glass skywalk, situated within the Yunyang Longgang Scenic Spot, or Longgang National Geological Park, was officially inaugurated on May 1, 2015, and is currently undergoing some minor renovations.

The Cloud Bridge is perched on a cliff, soaring to a height of 718 meters above ground level, with a length of 26.68 meters. Overall, the cliff in Yunyang stands at 1010 meters above sea level, making it one of the highest viewing bridges globally. Although the entire attraction was initially scheduled for completion by October 2015, it is now open to the public.

What makes this glass bridge truly exceptional is that visitors can walk on its glass flooring in a loop, allowing them to gaze upon the breathtaking canyon and river below. The maximum capacity for this cantilever bridge is 30 people at a time, and each session typically lasts around 20-30 minutes.
