Visitors have been enjoying a new floating walkway on the Hongshui River in China’s Guizhou Province.
Covering an area of 54,000 sq m, it’s hoped the path will attract more tourists to the region in the winter months.
China has the Great Wall, countless glass bridges and now it boasts a 50km walkway in the middle of a river.
On New Year’s Day, China opened up its 50km floating walkway, located in Luodian County of southwest China’s Guizhou Province.
The walkway, which floats on the Hongshui River, is twice as long as the city of Manhattan and has already 60,000 tourists.
The new walkway, which opened on New Year’s Day has already attracted more than 60,000 tourists.
At night, thousands of lights illuminate the newly-constructed walkway.
In 2016, an artist created a similar path, called The Floating Piers, at the picturesque Lake Iseo in northern Italy.
“Those who experience The Floating Piers will feel like they are walking on water – or perhaps the back of a whale,” Bulgarian artist Christo Vladimirov Javacheff said of his installation.
