Experts resolved to build up world's first cable-stayed glass bridge over mountains with a world's highest bungee jump platform at the center.

The bridge will be located on mountain cliffs at both sides of the canyon between Lishuya District and Wuwangpo District. The bridge is about 3.2 meters' wide and 330 meters' long with a relative height of 400 meters between the bridge arch and valley floor. Without normal support of steel and concrete piers, it features its complete glass structure with transparent bridge pavement.
