Randy, that road is not one I would be at all interested in taking for any reason. Looks like it is one way, so I wonder, how do they get down the mountain?

Especially in a Chinese bus. Those drivers are nuts. I took a bus from GZ to Nanning once. I was amazed we made it there alive.

Believe me, Carl. I am well aware of how crazy Chinese bus drivers can be. Li and I were involved in a major bus accident way back in February, 2003, on our way to GZ to meet with the head of the visa unit about the Black Hole. I banged up my shoulder and it still causes me trouble. There was at least one fatality in that accident.

A similar trail in Chongqing - no vehicles on this one

 

Tourists take adventurous cliff walk in Chongqing

Quote

Tourists challenge themselves by following a walkway built on the edge of a cliff, about 1,000 meters above the ground, at a scenic spot in Yunyang county, Southwest China’s Chongqing municipality, May 16, 2015. The path, which is 3,200 meters long and one meter wide, includes a section made of glass that allows visitors to look straight down into the deep valley. (Photo: China News Service/Liu Xiaoyang)

I was at such a situation by myself in 2009 at Songshan Shandong Province. Songshan was the original place for monks to practice Gongfu. In the beginning I didn't know the cliff was very high and dangerous but when I realized this was not a place for me, it'd been too late. I couldn't return. that was a scaring experience for me. there were not so many tourists when I was there. sometimes I was alone shivering forward.

This freaky glass skywalk in Zhangjiajie will be the world's highest and longest
