MOC CHAU , May 30 — A mountain resort in Vietnam has opened a bridge with a bottom made of glass over a gorge 150 metres below to attract thrill-seeking tourists, the third such bridge in the Southeast Asian country.

“I dared not look down as I am afraid of heights,” said one visitor, Vi Thi Thu, 22, who ventured onto the bridge after attending Saturday’s opening ceremony, which included dragon dancing and ribbon cutting.
