It was a tall order for workman but they have successfully completed the latest tourist attraction in China expected to draw the crowds. The new 'Skywalk' observation deck has opened to the public in Yunyang County, southwest China, and those with vertigo are advised to stay at home. The cantilevered platform in Chongqing has a 720 degree view from a vantage point that stands nearly 4,000 feet above sea level. Its incredible viewing area protrudes nearly 90ft from the cliff face at the Longgang scenic area - which is more than 16ft longer than a similar tourist attraction at the Grand Canyon in America. Daredevils will be able to step out onto the transparent walkway to get a dizzying peak at the valley floor, a full 2,350 feet below them. Work on the £3.7 million structure started in March last year with builders facing a terrifying trip to work each day. It is now open to anyone who dares...
