Bach Long glass bridge recognized by Guinness as world’s longest
After nearly a month of opening, a 632-meter-long glass bridge in Moc Chau, a popular tourist spot in northern Vietnam, was crowned with a Guinness World Record for its length.
On Saturday, a representative from 26 Moc Chau Tourism JSC (L), the investor of Bach Long (White Dragon) glass bridge, received a certificate from Guinness World Records, the world’s authority on record-breaking achievements.
With this official recognition, the Bach Long bridge has unseated a 530-meter glass bridge outside China’s Guangdong Province, which was recognized by Guinness as the world’s longest in 2020.
The glass-floored bridge is the latest tourist attraction in a highlands town well known for its undulating green tea hills and ethnic minority villages.
At the foot of the bridge is Muong Mooc Cave, also known as Chim Than Cave, with natural stalactites and stone sculptures that reflect the daily lives of the ancient Thai ethnic minority group.
The bridge deck is 2.4 meters wide.
The floor of the bridge, which allows a maximum of 450 people at a time, is made with French-produced tempered glass.
One of the highlights of the bridge is a 327-meter-long cliff-side path with a panoramic view of the tourist area.
