China to build yet ANOTHER terrifying sky-high glass bridge in the 'Avatar' mountains - and this time it's 'invisible'

  • In August the Chinese unveiled the world's longest and highest glass bridge in Hunan province
  • Now architects have gone one further by designing an 'invisible' bridge that blends into the surroundings
  • As well as walking across the see-through bridge you can spend the night in a pavilion perched on the rocks
Thrill seekers rejoice - China is building yet another terrifying glass-bottomed bridge in its 'Avatar' mountains.
It was only in August that the Chinese unveiled the world's longest and highest glass bridge in the mountain range that inspired the film Avatar, in the Hunan province, but now architects have gone one further.
They've designed an 'invisible' bridge that's spectacular and scary in equal measure.

The bridge will be built using mirrored stainless steel with a floor of black stone that becomes reflective when wet

The incredible structure is designed to blend in with the landscape of the mountains of Zhangjiajie.
The transparent footbridge, suspended high between two mountain-tops, will cost over £4million to build and has been created by Martin Duplantier Architectes (MDA) and Daqian Landscape Architects, who won a design competition.
