China's obsession with glass-bottomed bridges have reached new heights - literally.
中国人对于玻璃桥的热爱再掀高潮。

A new see-through footpath has been built at a staggering altitude of 6,500 feet in south-west China's Batai Mountain, according to Chinese media.
据中国媒体报道，中国西南部八台山上搭建了一架海拔高达6500英尺（约合1981米）的玻璃桥。

据称，这架让人眩晕的高桥是世界最高的玻璃桥，比之前的纪录保持者张家界玻璃桥的海拔高出了1800英尺（约合548米）。

张家界玻璃桥悬于半空，全长430米，宽6米，垂直高度达300米。站在桥上面可以一览张家界国家森林公园的壮丽景观。但对外开放后由于游客太多太火爆曾出现停运。

The impressive bridge, which cost 10 million yuan to build, connects Chengkou in the municipality of Chongqing with Wanyuan of Sichuan province. It's currently undergoing safety tests and is set to open to the public in mid-February.
