Don’t look down!!
The TERRIFYING see-through path stuck to a Chinese
cliff-face 4,000ft above a rocky ravine.
It is certainly not a path for the faint-hearted.
On one side a sheer rock face, on the other a
4,000ft drop - and all to separate the brave traveller 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.
The sky walk is situated 4,700ft 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 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.
Never seen this bridge before, amazing! you wouldn't want to have a fear of heights.
ReplyDeleteHi David,
ReplyDeleteThnks for convincing me not to add this dream to my bucket list.
Awesome achievement in engineering terms but not a project for me.
Interesting blog

Very interesting Dave. Wonder what sort of danger money the construction team were on!
