Photo, will you be brave enough to walk through this Glass bridge?

Included in the admission price: Sweaty palms and a faint heart.
(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.
Hovering over a vertical drop, the clear walkway is 1.6 meters wide.
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.
