The pedestrian bridge named Bach Long – meaning white dragon – has been opened!
The pedestrian bridge is called Bach Long, which translates to “white dragon”. The Bach Long is Vietnam’s third glass bridge.
The Bach Long bridge has been constructed in Moc Chau Island mountain park and resort, a mountainous tourist destination in Northwest Vietnam.
Bach Long bridge has a length of 632m, with 290m stretching between mountains and a further 342m along the edge of a cliff. The bottom is made of three layers of super-tempered glass panels, each 40mm thick, 2.4m wide and 3m long, provided by French specialists Saint-Gobain. The walkway stands 150m above ground.
Since the road of this bridge is made of one and a half inch transparent glass, those who walk on it can experience the thrill!
This bridge is built at a height of 492 feet over a valley between two mountains!
This bridge can support the weight of 500 pedestrians at a time, but currently the bridge is kept one-way!
When this bridge was opened to the public last Friday, many people initially walked across it with trepidation, but then they became fearless.
Photos were taken and posted!
Guinness Book of World Records officials are going to visit this bridge!
This bridge will boost Vietnam’s tourism industry!
The towers at either end of the mountain span are 30m high. The suspension cables are 50mm thick and imported from South Korea.
On the cliff-side portion of the bridge there are two observation decks, each 5m wide and 3m deep.
The Bach Long traverses a thick jungle beneath and the bridge’s operator said: “Standing on the bridge, visitors can admire the majesty of the Northwest mountains and forests, feel the nature full of sunshine and wind floating in the magical air.”
