Brave hikers can now test their resolve after a glass-bottomed walkway was opened along the sheer face of Tianmen Mountain in China's Hunan province.

Dubbed the "Coiling Dragon Cliff" skywalk, the clear glass walkway overlooks a 984ft drop in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park.

It runs for 100 metres along the cliff face and looks out on Tianmen Tongtian Avenue, a road which has 99 turns that switch back and forth up the mountainside.

It is the third glass walkway along the mountain and follows the construction of a glass-bottomed suspension bridge spanning a crevasse in Stone Buddha Mountain, Shiniuzhai Geopark, last year.

For the squeamish or those susceptible to vertigo, there is a cable car ride to the top of the mountain.
