This terrifying construction is part of the latest addition to China's glass bridge craze. The Coiling Dragon path is in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park in Hunan province, and a new section opened to tourists on Monday. The 100-m walkway has 99 turns around the side of the sheer cliff face of Tianmen Mountain. For those immune to the terror of a vertical drop, it's a perfect photo opp. Braver tourists can enjoy spectacular views across the Hunan countryside. To assuage fears about safety, in June the park authorities deliberately cracked the glass then drove a car full of people over it. It was fine. And for good measure, they hit it with a sledgehammer.
