Don’t look down! Vietnam has launched a new attraction for tourists with a head for heights, with the opening of a glass-bottomed bridge suspended 150m above a lush jungle.

The Bach Long pedestrian bridge – whose name translates to “white dragon” – in northwest Son La province snakes around dizzying cliff faces before spanning a dramatic valley between two peaks, hitting a total length of 632m.
