Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Glass-bottomed panda train debuts in China
Glass-bottomed or see-through structure is on the rise around the world, such as a bridge in Zhangjiajie (China), swimming pool in London, and elevator in New York.
Chengdu, the capital of China’s Sichuan province, is famous for spicy food and the giant panda. The city has just opened the second international airport after Beijing and Shanghai. It is also scheduled to be connected to Tibet with a bullet train line before 2035. Chengdu is on the move to welcome more tourists from domestic and abroad. Now, they’ve just opened a unique sky train line of 11.5 kilometers in length. It has a glass bottom which allows the riders to see all sides but the top. It is also the first new energy tourism air-rail, using lithium battery power to move the suspended rail train. The train is painted black and white, just like the beloved animal. You may chew bamboo sticks like a giant panda on the train.
Enjoy reading the article and see the photos of this new tourist attraction in Chengdu, China.
