Mount Qixing’s death-defying via ferrata has gone viral on Chinese social media.
China has 3.7 million square miles of land to explore. But more and more young Chinese travelers are opting to see their country from the sky. The newest of these not-for-the-faint-of-heart structures is called Tianti . It clocks in at 551 feet long and stretches between two cliffs at a height of 5,000 feet, according to Chinese state media.
” The sky-high attraction in Zhangjiajie receives an average of more than 1,200 tourists per day, according to state-run media outlet CCTV. It has become so popular there was once even a “people jam” in the air. Zhangjiajie Ferrata has since become a hot trending topic on Chinese social media, with videos like He Qian’s showing breathtaking POVs on the ferrata and the ladder — attracting tens of thousands of likes and shares.
