(CNN)There's
a new way to enjoy Hunan's mountainous landscapes -- though you might
be too terrified to appreciate the stunning views.
A
100-meter-long glass skywalk, stretching around a cliff on Tianmen
Mountain in the southern Chinese province, opened Monday to the public.
Some
visitors could be seen clinging to the cliff's side, others rolling
around on the 1.6-meter-wide glass floor, selfie stick held high.
Called the "Coiling Dragon Cliff" skywalk, the glass walkway is the third of its kind in the Tianmen Mountain Scenic Area.
The
dramatic walkway overlooks Tongtian Avenue, a mountain road with 99
turns that snakes up Tianmen Mountain in Hunan's Zhangjiajie National
Forest Park.
Its name means "Avenue to the Sky."
Cable cars and glass-bottom bridges
This isn't the first Zhangjiajie attraction to take advantage of the area's stunning surroundings.
French
company Poma constructed cable cars that pick passengers up from a
nearby railway station and deliver them to the top of Tianmen Mountain.
Meanwhile,
the world's longest glass-bottom bridge was set to open in Zhangjiajie
National Forest Park in May, although it's been delayed.
The bridge is 430 meters long, six meters wide and hovers over a 300-meter vertical drop.
