Wow, you're a genius. They clearly didn't think of that. NO regular human being of average intellect could have possibly came up with that solution... duh.
Some farmers it didnt because they complained that they needed more than just one child so they work on the farm with their families, most of these children aren't registred as citizens.
helena sousa uhhhh, imagine if China never implemented the one child policy, their population would be much greater. So of course it worked as it intended since China historically always has had a large population.
Just visited the bridge last month (i.e. Dec. 2017). They have now proper crowd control and it was great fun. They allow only booking via internet via the official web site except for the aged and children who can still purchase tickets at the entrance. Don't worry, there are a lot of "independent contractors" outside the ticket booth to get a ticket for you via the internet at the same price. This has weeded out illegal hoarding of tickets and resell at high prices. No cameras or video cams allowed (which can be kept in a safe storage) but you can use your smartphones to take photos and videos, which is more than good enough. The walk down of the cliff along the narrow wooden corridor on the other side was no less thrilling, and the one hour walk out of the gorge below gives you a truly stunning view of the beauty of nature.
chiupo lini Why would they forbid cameras and allow smartphones? The only reason I can think of is that people taking pictures are likely to share the pictures and basically be free publicity but people taking high quality images are probably planning to use them commercially.
I think it was out of safety concern. Some people may bring very heavy cameras onto the bridge and this may cause injury or inconvenience to others, or heavy equipment may damage the glass. But that is only my guess. I think the avoidance of the commercial use of pictures taken there is also a valid reason. Otherwise you cannot stop people from taking wedding pictures there and this would cause a constipation.
It is scary but very safe. That makes it fun. My daughter rolls herself over the glass. Saw a kid sitting on his younger brother and forced him to face downward while his parents had a good laugh by the side. So funny.
I've visited this last year end. It feels safe and the reason they don't allow cameras are due to it's heavy material that might damage the glass. Basically no metals, no umbrella, no power bank. The visit hours are divided by slots where probably limited number of visitors allowed on the bridge for an hour. It was totally fun and I was just rolling across the floor. It's less scary than it actually perceived.
Shubham singh Rajput Chinese need to learn from indian people. They all have a good heart. They poop on the train tracks to cushion those fall off from the top of their trains.
Fiha Rani all the bridges in the world have had resonance guards since the 1900s. Not only that, but glass doesn't even have a natural resonance because it has no Crystal strucutre. Each piece of glass has a different resonance.
Dan EstBack everything was made in china, your gun powder was invented in china, iron and pasta noodles was also invented in china, ice cream was invented in china. The printing press was invented in china also, i can go on forever but guess we're just being silly right? Without china, the world probably wouldn't be the way it is.
I guess you conveniently forgot about all the products that were recalled/sent back to china over the years because they were defective, cheaply made, and dangerous. China is known world over for shit products! Here's just one of many sites: www.bigclassaction.com/lawsuit/chinese-defective-products.php .
In Sept 2, 2016, the bridged closed for a while. In Sept 6, BI made this post which stated officials didn't say when it would re-open. Turns out it re-opened Sept 30. Jeez, couldn't BI be bothered to make a small update on its info section?
JM Ambrocio dude China isn't a small country , they have good economy and 3 mil USD is still a small number for them . If its 30 mil then i think its very expensive
Why dont they get people to book in advance with only a certain number of people allowed to visit per day or something. On top of that, they could make it a little pricey. Less people will want to go that way

Seriously this glass bridge for $3mil?? They wouldn’t even make a pedestrian crosswalk for that little money here in the US. The pedestrian crosswalk that has just collapsed in Florida costed $15mil, and that was already considered cost-cutting for implementing a new “efficient” design. I bet the older design would probably cost $25mil+. Yeah for a freakin tiny pedestrian crosswalk!! Seriously get a freakin clue!!
I just did some research, it is said that the cost of this bridge is 260 million yuan, which is about 40 million US dollars. And some websites also say that the cost is 400 million yuan(62 million US dollars)
Serena Chen and they said the bridge was supposed to last 100 years🤣 but i feel bad for the people who lost their lives during the collapsing of the bridge
I actually went on the glass bridge with my family and another family. I don’t wanna call my family “dumb” but they took a risk of all gathering in one place and taking a photo, with that many people it could be really dangerous.
Such a magnificent bridge...and that is what attract the tourist and sadly its closed down for life safety reasons. Because if its 10x the limits amount, it might break and take people life freely. So..like I said its closed down for safety reason (if that's make sense)😌😌😌
It's cheap cuz China has its own resources and they don't lack them so they sell the material for a cheap price in their country. (that glass is high quality glass btw) *FYI*
A glass panel that is to support weight cracked when the weight limit was exceeded. They reduced the number of people allowed on it after that. I believe it will be permanently closed. Its just to dangerous.
I want give a suggestion... Make a calculation automatic with a tech.. for every person that entrance this bridge. that's keep to this bridge still exists and be known till future
usd 3mil build in china golden bridge glass world longest beautiful stunning view amazing high 980feet below river and in meantime UK build a single roundabout need 30mil
No problem with Chinese engineering. Hell if I use anything Chinese constructed, though. Here in Vientiane, Laos all major buildings and roads are Chinese built. Let’s just say people avoid the ITECC mall for fear of the floors between the levels collapsing. The ‘new’ fast road between Vientiane and Luang Prabang (only a few years old) turned into a pile of river rocks this monsoon season. Among other things... When in Africa, saw the same things. For the folks who referenced the bridge in Florida in America, get your story straight. That was under REPAIR. Not a brand new structure. And if you think it’s different in-house, nah. There’s no shortage of examples of poor quality construction. Anyone remember that awful incident where a mom fell to her death after saving her four year-old after they fell through the top landing plate of an escalator because there were screws missing? Or how about expats complaining they bought brand new apartments that started falling apart only months after? Yyyyeah... no thanks.
So... Issue passes/permits? Or by online appointment? Like what we do here in the states at the really popular national parks. Seems like a simple solution over just closing it.
