Architectural firm Beijing Xinmei delivered their interpretation of one of nature’s most
beautiful creations — the rainbow — using glass.
The glass balcony spans 128 meters (nearly 140 yards) across a cliff of the canyon.
What makes this feat even more stunning is the colorful Vanceva used to create the
progression of colors in a rainbow-like pattern on both the glass floor and railing.
Every year, about 500,000 people visit the bridge, which is only open during the
summer season. From sunup to sundown on clear days or rainy days, walking along the
balcony or viewing it from below, the natural lighting passing through the colored panes
makes the Rainbow Glass Cliff a truly magnificent sight to see.
