China's highest and longest glass bridge closes
just less than two weeks after it opened after
too many people visited the bridge. The record-
breaking structure hanging over China's
Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon was opened to the
public on August 20 but closed on Friday
September 2nd.

A spokesperson from the Zhangjiajie Grand
Canyon's marketing and sales said:
"We're overwhelmed by the volume of visitors,"
explaining further that the capacity of the glass
bridge was limited to 8,000 visitors per day, but
total demand was ten times as much.

He also confirmed that the bridge was
not cracked or broken and that there have been
no accidents. The six-meter-wide bridge
stretches 430 meters over a 300-meter-deep
valley between two cliffs in the stunning
Zhangjiajie Park.

The bridge is said to have inspired the scenery
for the sci-fi movie "Avatar."
