CHANGSHA / BEIJING - Jutting out from a sheer cliff 1,430 meters high, the glass skywalk in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park makes mice of men.
"My girlfriend blamed me for not acting bravely," said a man from Shandong province, who refused to give his name because he was ashamed of not having the guts to walk across the see-through walkway.
"I will challenge the road next time, when I'm ready for the height, and then I will shout my name out loud."
The glass skywalk spans 60 meters of a 2-km loop encircling the vertical cliffs of Tianmen Mountain in Hunan province, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
"Tourists can walk, run or even jump on the walkway as the fence and planks are all tempered glass," said Tian Huilin, deputy general manager at the tourism office of the Tianmen Mountain Scenic Spot.
