SPECTACULAR CLIFF WALKS – PART 1

We present you the World’s most spectacular cliff walks, that are absolutely worth your attention.

Some of the cliff walks look really scary and risky, but they give a rewarding view in return. We can’t but admire the courage of workers who build these spectacular footpaths. It is more than obvious, they feel no fear whatsoever.

The place is known for impressive scenery, sunsets and peculiarly shaped granite peaks. “Fairytale bridge” is just one of numerous spots from which you can completely experience the beauty of this place.

4. Walkways of the Tianmen Mountain, China

The mountain is situated within the Tianmen National Park. To reach the top of the mountain tourists can use a cable from nearby Zhangjiajie railway station. Built at the 4,600 ft (1,400 m) above sea level, the path is considered one of the highest observation platforms. From the glass floor section, there is unique panoramic view, straight down the cliff. When the weather is nice, thousands of feet below can be clearly seen. According to the park regulations, tourists have to wear anti-slip shoe covers to minimize dust on the glass. It is always funny to see those scared of heights lean against the cliff as they cross it.
