4700 ft high Glass Sky Walk in Tianmen Mountain in Zhangjiajie Hunan, China China’s newest tourist spot is a glass-bottomed walkway around the cliff face of the Tianmen Mountain, 4,700 ft above sea level, at Zhangjiajie, Hunan Province

China's newest tourist attraction 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.

Dazzling: A glass path suspended on a cliff face has been built on the side of the 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

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

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.

Workers build a footpath around the vertiginous slopes of Shifou Mountain in China

The workers are building a plank road on the side of the Shifou mountain that, once it is finished, will stretch for 3km (9843 ft) and be China’s longest sightseeing footpath

Thousands of metres up the vertiginous slopes of Shifou Mountain in Hunan Province, China, a team of workers, operating with hardly any safety measures, are building a footpath

48-year-old Yu Ji (above) is one of the workers and he has been working on high cliffs building such plank roads for more than 10 years. He comments: “Young people don’t want this job, as it requires them to stay deep in the mountains for months or even years”

Yu Ji takes charge of the most dangerous part of the project - drilling the holes to set up pipes to support the footpath

Building a plank road on Shifou Mountain is difficult because the cliff stands vertical at 90 degrees, without any slope or alcoves
