Re: Chinese Floating Walkway
Really is amazing Mups I agree...On New Year's Day, China opened up its 31-mile-long floating walkway, located in Luodian County of southwest China's Guizhou Province. The walkway is twice as long as the city of Manhattan and has already received tens of thousands of tourists.
The scenic walkway in Xuan’en County of central China’s Hubei Province measures approximately 1,640 feet (500 metres) and it wraps around the lush green landscape that surrounds it according to People’s Daily Online. The wooden walkway allows visitors to see a part of a valley that was previously accessible only by rowing boat....
This was all the info I could find atm about it Mups...but it mustve taken ages to build it I would imagine!

Re: Chinese Floating Walkway
Surprise, surprise .... it does nothing for me.Beautiful ? Nahh - horrible, wasteful, plastic, artificial man-made crap.
What on earth is wrong with walking along a natural, unspoiled beach
or, in this case, a low-impact walkway around the perimeter of the lake or river - across any small waterways, through the trees, surrounded by native flora and perhaps even the occasional native bird or animal ?
Each to his or her own but the comparison (to me) would be like living in a soul-less highrise apartment in a tourist mecca or
a cottage beside Pumicestone Passage Marine Park.

I can see your point Pummy (for a change
), a perimeter walk would have probably been lovely too.

Re: Chinese Floating Walkway
I expect it gave lots of people jobs and increases tourism in that area.I imagine walking on it would be quite an unusual experience, not that I'd fancy it as I don't like water.
I don't see the point in things like the London Eye but I'm sure many enjoy it.
