A new 5,000ft high attraction in China is causing fear among people.

Are you ready for the ultimate adrenaline rush? Tourists in China are flocking to the country's newest attraction, the 'Sky Ladder', also known as Tianti in Chinese. Located on Mount Qixing in Zhangjiajie Nature Park, this unique experience is not for the faint of heart.

The ladder is a whopping 551 feet long and stretches between two cliffs that tower 5,000 feet high. As reported by CNN, climbers must rely on a combination of footrests, cables, and steel handrails to make their way along the rock face. It's no surprise that this daring adventure has become a popular activity, with over a thousand people making the journey daily. However, this popularity has also resulted in a 'people jam' mid-air, causing a bit of a delay.

The internet has been buzzing with excitement over the 'Sky Ladder' experience, as some brave souls have shared their journey online. For just £63, anyone can purchase a ticket and embark on this thrilling climb. Don't worry, safety is a top priority as coaches and inspectors closely monitor the entire adventure. Despite these precautions, some social media users still find themselves hesitating before taking the leap. As one user put it, "just watching this makes my hands sweat". Others have shared their own experiences, stating that the actual climb is much scarier than they initially thought.

This type of attraction is not exclusive to China, as similar experiences can also be found in the Alps. The most famous being the 'Stairway to Heaven', where a tragic accident occurred in 2023. A British climber lost his life after falling 300 feet from the ladder while climbing the Dachstein Mountains. This type of adventure is often referred to as Via-Ferrata, an Italian term meaning 'iron way', and is commonly known as the 'stairway to heaven' by climbers.

So, are you ready to take on the 'Sky Ladder' and conquer your fears? Don't worry, you're not alone. As one social media user perfectly summed it up, "I don't think my heart can take it". But for those who do take the leap, it's an experience they'll never forget.
