SHANGRALA'S

SHIFOU MOUNTAIN PATH!

Thousands of metres up the vertiginous slopes of Shifou Mountain in Hunan Province, China, a team of workers, operating with hardly any safety measures, are building a wooden plank footpath. Enjoy! :)       The footpath will be just two miles long when it's complete. It'll be walked by tourists and other visitors to the Chinese province - provided they don't mind the extreme wicked heights!       The track will be the longest cliff face track in China and will give tourists vertiginous views of the land below.       48 year old Yu Ji (above) is one of the workers. He has been working on high cliffs building such plank roads for more than 10 years. He comments: "Young people don't want this job, as it requires them to stay deep in the mountains for months or even years."       Yu Ji (above) takes charge of the most dangerous part of the project which is drilling the holes to set up pipes to support the footpath.       Building a plank road on Shifou Mountain is difficult because the cliff stands vertical at 90 degrees, without any slope or alcoves.

Here's a finished section of the footpath...
