Dubbed as the scariest bridge in the world, the Ruyi Bridge in China has been making headlines and sending shivers down the spines of many. This double-decker bridge, also known as the Glass Bridge, is not for the faint of heart. Suspended about 460 feet above a massive ravine, this engineering marvel has become a viral sensation, captivating audiences around the globe.

Designed by the renowned architect He Yunchang, who also had a hand in creating Beijing’s Bird’s Nest Stadium for the 2008 Olympics, the Ruyi Bridge is not only a marvel of engineering but also a work of art. Shaped like a jade Ruyi, a symbol of good luck and prosperity in Chinese culture, it adds to the enchantment of the Shenxianju Scenic Area in Xianju County, Zhejiang Province.
