China's obsession with glass-bottomed bridges have reached new heights - literally.
中國人對於玻璃橋的熱愛再掀高潮。
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.
據中國媒體報導，中國西南部八臺山上搭建了一架海拔高達6500英尺（約合1981米）的玻璃橋。

據稱，這架讓人眩暈的高橋是世界最高的玻璃橋，比之前的紀錄保持者張家界玻璃橋的海拔高出了1800英尺（約合548米）。
張家界玻璃橋懸於半空，全長430米，寬6米，垂直高度達300米。站在橋上面可以一覽張家界國家森林公園的壯麗景觀。但對外開放後由於遊客太多太火爆曾出現停運。
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.
