We're overwhelmed by the volume of visitors," a spokesperson from the Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon's marketing and sales department told CNN, explaining that the bridge was the main draw of the canyon.
He added that the capacity of the glass bridge was limited to 8,000 visitors per day, but total demand was ten times as much.
The famous bridge also brought renewed interest to other scenic spots in the area.
When asked if the bridge was cracked or broken, the spokesperson said "there was no problem." He also confirmed there have been no accidents.
Zhangjiajie is already a popular destination with visitors thanks to its dramatic landscape of peaks and valleys.
    The six-meter-wide bridge stretches 430 meters over a 300-meter-deep valley between two cliffs in the stunning Zhangjiajie Park, said to have inspired the scenery for the sci-fi movie "Avatar."
    The attraction's management made the announcement Thursday on its official Weibo account, a Chinese microblogging site.
    It didn't say when it might reopen and apologized for the inconvenience caused.
    The Weibo statement says that due to the "urgency to improve and update" the facility, the government decided to suspend operations on September 2.
    The park officials had suggested September 5 as a closing date, to accommodate travel agencies who "have already included the Grand Canyon and the glass bridge into their itineraries."
