A theme park in Wansheng, Southwest China's Chongqing, will unveil an 80-meter-long glass skywalk in one month, which could break the Guinness World Record.
The A-shaped sky corridor is three times longer than the Grand Canyon Skywalk in the United States.
With its stone forest, the Wansheng Ordovician Park boasts unique geographic landscape from the Ordovician Period.
The skywalk is currently undergoing a test run and hopefully will open to the public on May 1, according to the park manager.
"We are applying for a Guinness World Record as the longest glass skywalk in the world," said Tang Nan, the park manager.
Some tourists have already been attracted to the spot and experienced the walkway.
"So many people want to walk on it and there is always a long line," Tang said.
In May 2015, Longgang National Geological Park in Yunyang county，Chongqing, unveiled a 26.68-meter-long glass skywalk which was said to be the world's longest one at the time.
