天空之桥(Skybridge),位于
马来西亚的兰卡威(langkawi)群岛,建成于2004年10月,总长125米,桥形呈圆弧状。
这座桥因为离地面极高,而且又窄,所以要想穿过它,需要极大的勇气的胆识。然而就是这个很有挑战性的特色,反而吸引很多爱好冒险的游客前来观光旅游,所以它也是目前马来西亚的一道重要的旅游景点。
Langkawi sky-bridge is suspended at 700 metres above sea level. This unique curved pedestrian bridge spans 125 metres across a spectacular chasm. The view from the bridge is simply breathtaking. You'd be able to view the Andaman Sea and Thailand's Tarutao Island as well. The 1.8m-wide bridge had two 3.6m-wide triangular platforms that provided a spectacular viewing-cum-resting area for visitors. Unlike straight bridges where you can see from the starting point, the bridge has been curved to provide different perspectives over the land and sea. Convenient triangular platforms located along the curved bridge provide rest areas so you can sit and appreciate both the beauty of nature and an incredible feat of engineering. Langkawi sky-bridge is safe. Considerable thought was invested to provide visitors with a psychological feeling of security. They include a double steel railing at upper body level as well as an enclosed wire mesh and timber parapet below.
