The world's longest and highest glass bridge in Zhangjiajie, Hunan Province, was temporarily closed from last Friday, following a huge influx of tourists during its initial opening.
世界上最长最高的玻璃桥位于湖南省张家界，自开放之日游客就络绎不绝，但已于上周五起暂停开放。
According to the management committee of the bridge, "an internal system upgrade" would be undertaken during the suspension of business.
据玻璃桥管理委员会消息称，景区在停运期间将进行“内部系统升级”。
The bridge has set 10 world records spanning its design and construction. It formally opened on Aug. 20.
这座玻璃桥的设计和建造创下了10项世界纪录，并于8月20日正式开放。
The bridge had limited the number of visitors to 8,000 daily, but more than 10,000 people swarmed to the scenic site every day.
这座玻璃桥每天限量接待游客8000人，但是每天都有上万游客蜂拥而至。
The online community was quick to question the bridge's safety after the decision to close it to visitors.

However, the management committee said the closure was due to software and hardware problems due to the mass flow of visitors.

Any changes made as a result of the upgrade will have to pass an official appraisal before the bridge can be reopened, the committee said.
