Monday smile: Take a leap off the new highest bungee jump in the world

China’s newest bungee jump will soon become the highest in the world. The jump will be launched at the Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon Glass Bridge in August. This is the highest glass-bottom bridge in the world, and is soon to be home to a 260-metre-high bungee jump platform.

Joe Chen, Deputy General Manager of Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon Tourism Management, says: “Thanks to the glass bottom, visitors on the bridge can look down and see someone bungee jumping.”

A bungee-themed bar and restaurant at the end of the bridge will also allow spectators to order bungee-themed drinks while watching those brave enough leap off the bridge.
