...and this gave me the willies just watching it, I’ll probably scratch it from my list of “must see in person” places.

For the brave, that would be quite a thing to experience. Those hairpin turns! That staircase! Woof.


Thanks for posting

Obviously I am not that, myself, otherwise I would not be wanting to go either.

I actually quite love 'heights'.

But of all the so-called 'phobias' out there, I definitely find that to be one of the most understandable.

This is the glass bridge I mentioned, apparently in another part of Zhangjiajie ... I would so love to walk across this ...

I've seen that before on the Royal Gorge Bridge in Colorado...(America's highest) and included in most lists of the world's most frightening suspension bridges.
