Transparent Floor of  “the Sky Walk”

The first floor of a five-floor observation platform has an area called “the sky walk” where you can walk on a transparent floor at a height of 75 meters. The floor becomes transparent when you get near. The transparent floor shows everything beneath it and makes you feel as if you are walking in the sky.
