The 24th storey pool in Shanghai, China, has nothing underneath it apart from a pane of toughened glass - and a huge drop.

Fortunately for those terrified of the drop, the majority of it is inside the building - although you will probably want to stay in the shallow end.

Guests using the pool can feel like they are swimming over the air say hotel bosses, although many won't dare look down.

The unique swimming baths, in the Holiday Inn hotel, Shanghai Pudong Kangqiao, are 30 metres long.
