Those with a fear of heights might want to give this exclusive eatery(餐厅) a miss，because it juts right out hundreds of feet above a canyon(峡谷)—and there's a glass floor to make the experience even more frightening.
Designed by Tall Arquitectos，the Copper Canyon Cocktail Bar(铜峡谷鸡尾酒吧) will overlook the Basaseachic Falls(萨赛奇瀑布) in Mexico from above.
The Copper Canyon，if built，will consist of two levels，with the first featuring a bar—for those who need a stiff drink to calm their nerves—and a dining area，which will have tables positioned around to make the best of the views. Once their meal is over，diners can retreat to the upstairs observation deck for a more chilled view.
They can also take a dip in the swimming pool to cool down after their one－of－a－kind fine dining experience, which is bound to leave them with vertigo(眩晕)．Or they'll be able to abseil(绕绳下降) down to the canyon floor.
Renderings(效果图)show that if approved，the restaurant and bar will be completely elevated above the canyon in Mexico.
The world's tallest restaurant title currently remains with Atmosphere，which opened its doors 1,350 feet up on the 122nd floor of the Burj Khalifa(哈利法塔)in Dubai(迪拜)．

Do you prefer to travel by plane or by train? To my opinion, there are advantages and disadvantages travelling both by plane and by train. Travel by plane is time-saving, comfortably, and you can have a good rest on the trip, but it is too expensive. Unless you travel by train, it is not expensive and quite safety and you can appreciate the beautiful scenery on both sides of the railway. However, it was too crowded and time-wasting, and we can take a good rest. So you can see every coin have two sides. You’d better to choose either of them depend on your own interest and economy.
