China is adding to the charm and grandeur of Zhangjiajie in Hunan Province with vanishing bridges. These bridges have been designed by French architect Martin Duplantier and use optical illusion to give the vanishing effect. Zhangjiajie is a major tourist spot in the country as it is believed to be the inspiration behind the pillar-like mountains featured in the blockbuster movie 'Avatar'.

Visitors cross the world's highest and longest glass-bottomed bridge above a valley in Zhangjiajie in China's Hunan Province on August 21, 2016.
