If you’ve ever dreamed of drinking a cup of coffee half a mile into the air, there’s a new way to get your morning cup in the sky. 

China’s Huajiang Grand Canyon Bridge, which opened to traffic on Sept. 28, is opening a glass cafe 800 meters (2,624 feet) in the air called Interstellar Coffee. 

According the Guizhou Daily Tianyan News, the cafe, which is perched atop one of the towers, will have two floors and a 360-degree unobstructed view thanks to its glass walls. It will feature Captain George Coffee with plans to expand its selection in coming months.

Visitors will reach the dizzying height via a glass elevator, which can hit the top in under one minute. There’s also a 1,900-foot high glass walkway for visitors, and tourists will also get the chance to bungee jump off the massive bridge. 

The Huajiang Grand Canyon Bridge is located in Southern China over the Beipan River and has become the tallest bridge in the world. It cut transit time in the Guizhou province from two hours to two minutes, NBC News reported, citing local officials.

At 4,600 feet in length, it also sets the record for the world’s longest bridge in a mountainous region, according to NBC News.

Bridge construction in China has increased as a part of the Chinese government’s war on poverty, the outlet previously reported. The Guizhou province now has 32,000 bridges that have been completed or are under construction compared to less than 3,000 in the 1980s. 

The Huajiang Grand Canyon Bridge opened after three years and eight months of construction and now connects two major tourist areas in the region.
