Being 173 meters high and 390 meters long, and it is designed to carry 1800 adults on it at once. Well, going along the bridge is somewhat frightening, and if there are strong winds, walking on the bridge is strictly prohibited. If you dare to walk to the other side of the canyon, you will witness some great views, including the river and some waterfalls.
