Funny China Opens Terrifying Tianmen Mountain Glass Walkway. the just opened colling dragon cliff sky walk offers. tourists and thrill seekers the chance to take in dazzying heights and beathtaking vertical drops.
It is certainly not a path for the faint-hearted. On one side a sheer rock face, on the other a 4,000 ft drop - and all to separate the brave traveler from a deadly plunge is a 3ft-wide, 2.5in thick walkway. And if that is not enough to bring terror into the pit of your stomach, the path running alongside a Chinese mountainside is made out of glass, allowing a crystal-clear view of where one false step can take you.
So it was perhaps understandable that this woman tackled the walkway by sticking as close to the cliff as possible, feeling her way along with tentative steps.
The skywalk is situated 4,700 ft above sea level on the side of the Tianmen Mountain in Zhangjiajie, China.
The 200ft long bridge joins the west cliff at the Yunmeng Fairy Summit, the summit of Tianmen Mountain and Zhang Jiajie.
And it would appear to be too scary for the cleaners - tourists are asked to put on shoe covers before passing to help keep the path clean. The pathway, built earlier in the summer echoes the glass-bottomed walkway at the Grand Canyon in the U.S.
The 70ft bridge is 4,000ft above the natural wonder and allows tourists to look through 2.5in of crystal-clear glass to the Canyon floor below.
The Tianmen mountain, literally translated as Heavenly Gate Mountain is so called because of a huge natural cave that occurs halfway up to the summit.
Situated in the Hunan Province, Its highest peak is around 5,000ft above sea level and it is home to a wealth of rare species of plants.
A four-mile-long cable car was constructed in the park, which is said to be the longest of the same type in the world.
And no matter how terrifying the glass walkway may be - it can only be an improvement from another sky high mountain walkway located in the same province.
The Shifou Mountain, located 82 miles away, offers sightseers a 3ft-wide road made of wooden planks thousands of feet high.
When finished the wooden 'road' - which is the width of a dinner table - will stretch for 1.8miles making it China's longest sightseeing path.
New glass bottomed walkway Opens at 4,600ft on a Chinese Tianmen Mountain
Another frighteningly high glass-bottomed skywalk has been unveiled in the mountains of southern China, daring brave tourists to walk along a cliff with a cavernous drop on the other side. The 'Coiling Dragon Cliff' walkway opened on August 1 on Tianmen Mountain, at the Tianmenshan National Park in Zhangjiajie, and has already welcomed visitors to try out its dizzying heights for themselves. The 330ft-long path along the mountainside is just 5ft wide, giving tourists a very clear view of the plunging valley on the other side of the barrier. Coiling Dragon Cliff walkway, the third such walkway to open on the mountain, has been recently converted from a wooden pathway and sits at around 4,600ft above sea level. The mountainous area is particularly popular with tourists for its remarkable natural scenery as well as for its relatively new attractions, the glass-bottomed walkways.Photographs of the walkway's first visitors show them edging carefully along the cliff wall, with some guests avoiding looking down through the transparent floor and over the side of the barrier.
The first of Tianmenshan's skywalks opened in November 2011 and has since attracted thousands of tourists wanting to sample life on the edge.The glass floor of the walkway was just 2.5 inches thick and visitors were spotted looking nervous walking on it. Meanwhile the second attraction, a glass bridge across a canyon in the national park, opened in May this year and is reported to have cost around £2.6 million to build. Not only is it a scary glass-bottom walkway high above the ground, visitors have the chance to go bungee jumping and zip-lining from the spectacular structure.
