China has opened a glass walkway around Tianmen mountain at Zhangjiajie National Forest Park in Hunan.
The 100-metre-long "Coiling Dragon Cliff" skywalk is part of the latest addition to China's craze for vertiginous tourist attractions.
To assuage fears about safety, in June the park authorities deliberately cracked the glass then drove a car full of people over it. It was fine. Photo: AP
