Glass Walkway On Sheer Cliff Opens In China

SHARE




The "Coiling Dragon Cliff" skywalk offers stunning views of Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, but is not for the faint hearted.
Brave hikers can now test their resolve after a glass-bottomed walkway was opened along the sheer face of Tianmen Mountain in China's Hunan province.
Dubbed the "Coiling Dragon Cliff" skywalk, the clear glass walkway overlooks a 984ft drop in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park.
It runs for 100 metres along the cliff face and looks out on Tianmen Tongtian Avenue, a road which has 99 turns that switch back and forth up the mountainside.
It is the third glass walkway along the mountain and follows the construction of a glass-bottomed suspension bridge spanning a crevasse in Stone Buddha Mountain, Shiniuzhai Geopark, last year.
For the squeamish or those susceptible to vertigo, there is a cable car ride to the top of the mountain.
