Earlier this month, the Coiling Dragon Cliff Skywalk was opened high above China's Zhangjiajie National Forest Park. While certainly not for the faint of heart, the glass walkway offers visitors breathtaking views of the Chinese landscape.
The Coiling Dragon Cliff Skywalk is a glass walkway fixed to the side of Tianmen Mountain in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park. The walkway is an impressive 100 meters in length and sits 4,600 feet above the ground, which gives visitors to the park a better view of the surrounding province of Hunan. In order to preserve the glass and the breathtaking views of the mountain below, guests are asked to wear protective foot covers during their visit.
Although not ideal for those who are scared of heights, the new attraction provides a unique way to see the Chinese countryside.
