This one is in China and clings to a mountain side with a views way down below you. The 100-m walkway has 99 turns around the side of the sheer cliff face of Tianmen Mountain. No write up, just photos and video just in case you don't want to open. www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-china-36961264 |

 Holy Moly! Just for fun, I called my daughter over. She gets dizzy sometimes from different flooring. She took one look and started stammering. She's never done that before!

I'd do the one in the cliff before I'd go out on that bridge!

That is the stuff nightmares are made of! No way would I go on either the path or the bridge. |

Some contractor in China is building us a bridge in town here. There are nothing but PROBLEMS and OVERRUNS with this stupid project. There is no way in heck I would walk on this. Never!

No. I've seen how things are built in China. Their standards just aren't the same as ours. There is no way I'd walk on any part of the walkway.

I'd do it in a heartbeat. But what I really like is the glass suspension bridge shown. To be that far out there and able to look strait down would be amazing. Beautiful views no matter where you stand in the area.

If it weren't that it was built by the Chinese (another that has concerns over their building practices) I would do it in a second. DH refused to look at the pictures or listen to me belly ache that it was all the way over in China. LOL.

It looks really cool but I don't think I would be brave enough.
I'd probably get 40 or 50 yards out and then freeze and have to be carried back to the start.
I'm still trying to talk myself into zip lining!

I'm not scared of heights, but I'm not particularly fond of them unless necessary. So that's a big ole no for me  |

Wow - how fantastic. I'm with dewryce - I would love to walk across the glass bridge.
I love heights - I get quite a buzz, so that area would be an amazing place to visit.

Looks amazing! I would love to experience that.
My husband would not. He tells me one of his husbandly duties is to save me from my excessive curiosity and lack of fear.

More importantly is how did they build that? And are they counting/limiting the number of people on it at one time?

10 years ago I would have definitely walked, it but now I feel sick just looking at the photos, so NO WAY!

Oh hell no, for many reasons. As others said, Chinese building standards just aren't up to par.
