What does it feel like to walk more than 4,000 feet above the ground with nothing under you? Head to China to find out.

The Coiling Dragon Cliff, a glass-bottomed walkway constructed 4,600 feet above sea level, opened this week on Tianmen Mountain. As if the see through nature of the path wasn't enough to cause anxiety, the 330-foot-long walkway measures only 5 feet in width. 

Originally a wooden pathway, the walkway was recently converted to glass and is the third of its kind on the mountain, found within Tianmenshan National Park in Zhangjiaje. The first one opened back in 2011 and quickly became a must-visit tourist attraction (and an ideal selfie setting). 

While we advise you to bring along your selfie stick when visiting the skywalk, we gently bow out of this adventure for now. Just watching that video caused a collective panic attack.
