A mountain resort in Vietnam has opened a bridge with a bottom made of glass over a gorge 150 metres below to attract thrill-seeking tourists, the third such bridge in the Southeast Asian country.

The Bach Long suspension bridge, which translates as “White Dragon,” is in Son La province, northwest of the capital, Hanoi, and is the “world’s longest glass-bottomed bridge”, according to the Official World Record Association , at 632 metres.

The reinforced glass used for the bridge has three layers, each 40mm thick, and can hold up to 450 people at a time, according to a statement from the facility’s owner. “The engineering required to build that into the side of a cliff but maintain all the features of nature, the greenery, the rock, its been an amazing project,” said Glen Pollard, a representative from Guinness World Records, who attended the opening ceremony.
