If
you are terrified of heights you would be advised to stay well
away from China's latest attraction.
The
Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon skywalk will hover over a nail-biting
980ft drop and is set to smash records to be the world's longest
and highest glass-bottomed bridge.
The
dizzying footbridge, which spans between two cliffs in the
national park of Zhangjiajie, will be open to brave tourists in
July.

The
dizzying walkway is suspended between two cliffs in the
Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon area with unbeatable views of the

There
are even plans to hold fashions shows along the sky-high pathway,
which has unbeatable views of the national park that was the
inspiration for the planet Pandora in the movie
Avatar.
Israeli
architect Haim Dotan was behind the ambitious venture, which will
easily dwarf America's Grand Canyon Skywalk which sits 718ft above
ground measuring 68ft long.

For
tourists who catch the adrenaline bug from completing the
transparent walkway, there will also be the opportunity to try the
world's highest bungee
jump.
This
record-breaking bungee will snatch the title from Macau Tower's
764ft-high attraction.
Last
month a similarly scary walkway opened in south-west China in
Chongqing, which extended 87.5ft from the edge of a
cliff.
Visitors
are suspended in the air with 2,350ft of valley below their feet,
leaving them feeling as though they are walking on air.
Located
in the Longgang National Geological Park, the bridge has been
named Yuanduan, meaning 'at
the
end
of the clouds'
With
jaw-dropping panoramic views from its observation deck, it is the
longest cantilever bridge in the world

Such a bridge will require a faith walk for sure. Christians are asked to walk a faith walk with Christ every day. Some times it takes us to dizzying heights we could never imagine attempting without the Holy Spirit. As the apostle Paul said, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."

Crossing such a bridge will be a faith walk for sure. It is a reminder that every day, the Christian is asked to walk a faith walk with Christ. Some times that faith walk takes us to dizzying heights, to go places and attempt things we could not have imagined. We do these in the power of the Holy Spirit. As the apostle Paul said, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."

Very impressive, but this is one event that I have no desire to visit. Still, the pictures are incredible! I do have a lot of faith, but I'm hesitant to have faith this this bridge is for me to walk across.
