It is definitely not a path for the faint-hearted. On one side a rocker face, over 4,000 ft drop - and all to separate the brave traveler from a deadly plunge a 3ft wide, 2.5in thick walkway. And if it is not enough to bring your stomach to the pit in terror, the Chinese mountainside along the path of the glass is made from glass, and a crystal clear view of where a false step can take you.
So it was probably understandable that this woman tackled the walkway by sticking as close to the cliff as possible, feeling her way along with tentative steps.
The skywalk is located at 4,700 ft above sea level on the Tianmen Mountain in Zhangjiajie, China.
The 200ft long bridge joins the west cliff at the Yunmeng Fairy Summit, Summit of Tianmen Mountain and Zhang Jiajie.
And it will be very scary for the cleaners - tourists are asked to put shoes on the front before passing the path clean. The pathway, built earlier in the summer echoes the glass-bottomed walkway at the Grand Canyon in the US
The 70ft bridge is 4,000ft above the natural wonder and allows visitors to look at 2.5in of crystal-clear glass to the Canyon floor below.
The Tianmen mountain is literally translated as Heavenly Gate Mountain, which is because of a large natural cave that occurs at halfway up to the summit.
Situated in the Hunan Province, its highest peak is about 5,000ft above sea level and it is a wealth of rich species of plants
A four-mile-long cable car was built in the park, which is said to be the longest of the same type in the world.
And no matter how terrifying the glass walkway may be - it can only be an improvement from another sky high mountain walkway in the same province.
The Shifou Mountain is located 82 miles away, offers sightseeers a 3ft-wide road made of wooden planks thousands of feet high.
When finished the wooden 'road' - which is the width of a dinner table - will stretch 1.8miles to China's longest sightseeing path.
Longest passenger cableway of high mountains in the world, China's newest tourist attraction, do not look down! The terrifying see-through path stuck to a Chinese cliff-face 4,000ft above a rocky ravine.
