Coiling Dragon path, Hunan, China: This is the brand new glass skywalk on the side of Tianmen Mountain in China. Its name? The Coiling Dragon Cliff skywalk. Tianmen is already a big tourist attraction. It has a famous cable car, the Tianmen Mountain Cableway, that gives people high-flying views of the mountain and surrounding area. Meanwhile, Tianmen's plank road is a sky-high walkway that stretches for kilometres around the mountain's edge. Now, the plank road was a pretty exhilarating and scary experience already. As well as incredibly majestic. But however nervewracking it might have been, it was nothing compared to the moment when they began adding glass-floored sections to it. The first glass section was opened in 2011. The Coiling Dragon Cliff skywalk (which opened this week) is the third and maybe the most intense. The glass portion is 100 m (325 ft.) long. But the real kicker? The walkway is 300 m (nearly 1000 ft.) above the ground below.
