Vietnam’s Bach Long pedestrian bridge, also known as the ‘White Dragon’ is 632m (2,073ft) long and located 150m (492ft) above a huge jungle in the Moc Chau district of the Son La province in Vietnam.
Coincidentally, the bridge was officially opened on the 47th anniversary of the conclusion of the Vietnam War. According to reports, the Bach Long bridge is the longest in the world and its structure is roughly three-fourths the height of the Burj Khalifa Tower.
The bridge which was shut to tourists for two years due to the Covid-19 pandemic can withstand a capacity of 450-500 people. The bridge is made of French-tempered glass. Guards who keep an eye on the bridge make sure that only one way of traffic is flowing.
It surpasses the 526-meter Glass Bottom Bridge in Guangdong, China. It has a distinctive architectural layout that makes it one of the top tourist destinations.
The scary bridge eventually crosses a valley between two hills after winding around mountainsides. The Bach Long Bridge is undoubtedly the most spectacular of the three glass bridges in Vietnam.
Another breathtaking mountain footbridge which appears to be supported by two gigantic stone hands was opened in the Central Vietnamese Ba Na Hills in 2018 and garnered international attention.
