Adrenaline junkie? Take the Coiling Dragon Cliff skywalk challenge

If you\'re anything short of an adrenaline junkie, this will probably stop you dead in your tracks. And good luck recovering after.

We\'re talking about the newly opened glass walkway in China - the Coiling Dragon Cliff skywalk. If the 4,600ft height doesn\'t throw you off - and please don\'t get thrown off, not even as a figure of speech - here\'s more trivia: the completely transparent glass walkway hangs off the side of Tianmen mountain. Yeah, totally safe.

The access to this glass wonder is through Zhangjiajie National Forest Park in Hunan Province. Once you\'re on it, you\'ll find yourself praying desperately for the duration of your 100 metre adventure. With a width of just 1.6 metres and completely open on one end, it\'s definitely not for acrophobics (people with a fear of heights). Nor is it for the easily startled or faint of heart. In fact, anything less than nerves of steel aren\'t enough.

The park has three glass walkways, the Coiling Dragon being one. If it\'s too much for you, you can always chance your luck on the lower but longer ones. And, if you can\'t get there at all, satisfy yourself with these (literally) breathtaking photos.

PSA: If you ever get up there, don\'t take selfies in a moment of bravado. That usually ends badly.
