China's newest tourist attraction ... a glass-bottomed walkway around a
                                cliff face.
Brave tourists looking to test their nerves have flocked to China to walk
    across this dazzling glass bridge suspended from a cliff face.
The oriental Sky Walk is situated 4,700ft above sea level on the side of
             the Tianmen Mountain in Zhangjiajie, China.
In order to keep the glass path clean, tourists are asked to put on shoe
                         covers before walking.
Glass Skywalk.Zhangjiajie1
Dazzling: A glass path
 suspended on a cliff
face has been built on
    the side of the
 Tianmen Mountain in
 Zhangjiajie, Hunan,
        China
Don't look down: A brave tourist walks along the glass path that was built on the side of a
cliff, 4,700ft above sea level, on Tianmen Mountain in Zhangjiajie, Hunan, China
The 200ft long bridge joins the
west cliff at the Yunmeng Fairy
Summit, the summit of Tianmen
   Mountain and Zhangjiajie.
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.
Stunning: The skywalk
  offers breathtaking
   views across the
  Hunan Province for
those brave enough to
 attempt to cross the
         bridge
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.
 The futuristic glass walkway is a marked upgrade from another sky high
             mountain walkway located in the same province.


                         For comparison:
   The Shifou Mountain located 82 miles away in Hunan Province offers
sightseers a 3ft-wide road made of wooden planks thousands of feet high.
When finished the 'road' - which is the width of a dinner table - will stretch
        for 1.8miles making it China's longest sightseeing path.

Not so high spec: Workers built a 3ft-
wide plank road on the side of Shifou
Mountain, in Hunan Province, China
earlier this year
