The Chang Kong Cliff Road was built more than 700 years ago by hermits seeking 'immortals' they thought were living deep in the mountains

The walkway is only a foot width wide and has been built clinging to the absolutely vertical cliff. One misstep could see you fall hundreds of metres down the stone valley.
However, anyone brave enough to navigate the path does have to wear a special safety harness. Picture: Quirky China News / Rex Features

Interesting, didn't know there is such an attraction. Need to be fit to get up there first. Or do they have cable car to get up there?
