The glass floor also means tourists can get amazing views of the scenery while braving the scary walk.

The entire cable car system was also imported from the Republic of Korea (RoK). The investor says the bridge was tested by having heavy cars and trucks drive over it.

At the foot of the bridge is Muong Mooc Cave, also known as Chim Than Cave, with natural stalactites and stone sculptures that reflect the daily lives of the ancient Thai ethnic minority group.

The bridge, along with the natural scenery and landscape of the Northwest mountains and forests, draws in the most aspiring photographers to capture this beautiful spot.

It is hoped the landmark will encourage more people to visit Moc Chau and Son La as well. Entry tickets on normal days cost VND550,000 ($23.71) per person and VND650,000 on weekends or national holidays./.
