【Dear Utol (2025): Week 7 Highlights 40】

Just when you thought you saw all the glass bridges China had to offer,Dear Utol (2025): Week 7 Highlights 40 this one just upped the stakes by painting a set of heart-dropping optical illusions into the floor.

A transparent bridge over the famed Yellow River in Zhongwei, city, Ningxia, was just launched with a set of photo-ready illusions painted into sections of its 328 metre length.

Some of the illusions invite people to stand at the sides of the bridge, appearing like they're at the edge of a precipice, with a sharp fall down to the river below.

It appears that other parts of the bridge remain clear, so as not to disappoint those who went to a glass bridge expecting a clear view of the drop below.

The Yellow River is the world's sixth longest river, and cuts through much of the country, including inner Mongolia in the north. Because the ancient Chinese people relied on it for survival, the 5,464 km (3,395 mile) long river is regarded as the birthplace of Chinese civilisation.
