CHANGSHA, Sept. 2 (Xinhua)-- The world's longest and highest glass bridge in Zhangjiajie, Hunan Province, will be temporarily closed from Friday, following a huge influx of tourists during its initial opening.


According to the management committee of the bridge, "an internal system upgrade" would be undertaken during the suspension of business.


The bridge has set 10 world records spanning its design and construction. It formally opened on Aug. 20.


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.


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.


The 430-meter long, 6-meter wide bridge, paved with 99 panes of three-layer transparent glasses, hangs between two steep cliffs 300 meters above the ground.


The bridge is set amid the spectacular, jaw-dropping Grand Canyon Scenic Area in Zhangjiajie, where the unique pillar-like mountain formation, listed on UNESCO's world heritage list, influenced the scenery in the Hollywood blockbuster movie "Avatar."


A ticket to visit the bridge costs 138 yuan (21 U.S. dollars). No belongings are allowed except for wallets or mobile phones with cover. Visitors are not allowed to wear high heeled shoes, and must cross the bridge without the aid of the railings. Enditem

The Sony statement said there were 800 other actors, writers and crew members involved in the movie ECCO Homme Intrinsic Sandales Wild Dove , and the film would open wide as planned on Dec. 22.


Spacey apologised last month to actor Anthony Rapp, who accused him of trying to seduce him in 1986 when Rapp was 14. Spacey's representatives later said he was seeking unspecified treatment.


CNN reported last week that eight current and former employees of the Netflix TV show "House of Cards ECCO Homme Intrinsic Sandales Tarmac ," who were not identified, alleged sexual misconduct against Spacey ECCO Homme Intrinsic Sandales Noir , the TV show's star.


AFI said in a statement that it supported Sony's decision.

It said it would not be involved in further production of "House of Cards" with Spacey. Producer Media Rights Capital said Spacey had been suspended from the political show.


Netflix also said it would not release the film "Gore," in which Spacey plays the late U.S. writer Gore Vidal.

LA PAZ, March 28 (Xinhua) -- Bolivia's football team took home an unexpected but well-deserved 2-0 victory against Argentina on Tuesday here in La Paz as part of the 2018 World Cup qualifiers.


This defeat complicates matters for the Argentinean team led by Eduardo Bauza, especially as it came the same day that star Lionel Messi was suspended for four games after having insulted an assistant referee in a match against Chile on March 23.


For Bolivia, the victory is more about honor, as the country cannot qualify for Russia 2018 after having been deducted four points by FIFA last year for fielding an ineligible player.


The goals were scored by Juan Carlos Arce in the 30th minute and Marcelo Martins in the 52nd.


The first half was clearly dominated by the Bolivians, who faced a conservative Argentine side that held two lines of four and looked to counterattacks from Angel Di Maria, Lucas Pratto and Angel Correa.


Argentina did have a great early chance with Di Maria clear on goal but he was unable to convert against Bolivian keeper Carlos Lampe.


The first goal came after 30 minutes when an attack down the right by Pablo Escobar led to a sweet cross to Juan Carlos Arce, who jumped higher than Ramiro Funes Mori and headed it into goal.


The second half did not see any changes, with Bolivia leading the charge and a fumbling Argentina seemingly unable to find its groove.


In the 52nd minute, Jorge Flores fought his way down the left flank and put in a cross to Martins, who found himself totally unmarked and blasted the ball past Sergio Romero.


This means the last time Argentina won in La Paz was in 2005, when it beat Bolivia 2-1.


The game leaves Argentina in a precarious position, with only four teams set go through automatically to the World Cup. With Brazil leading the standings comfortably, Uruguay, Colombia, Ecuador and Chile are all vying for the top four spots.
