The longest span footbridge in Northeastern China, the Huanghe Sanxia Glass Footbridge crosses a submerged section of the Fenshi River, a tributary that leads into the famous Yellow River. The Xiaolangdi reservoir that flows below the bridge was created from the construction of a giant dam along the Yellow River making for a popular tourist region in the otherwise arid desert region of Henan Province.
The asymmetrical suspension span has a ground anchorage on the east side supporting a cable span of approximately 330 meters with around 300 meters of that as a suspended glass decked walkway. The deck is around 40 meters above a full reservoir with maybe another 20 meters of lake depth.
