These vertigo-inducing pictures show tourists navigating an extremely narrow and treacherous walkway along cliffs at a scenic mountain in China’s Shaanxi Province.这些令人晕眩的照片,拍的是中国陕西省一座名山的游客正在通过建在峭壁上的极其狭窄且危险的栈道。
The precipitous Chang Kong Cliff Road on Haushan mountain was built more than 700 years ago by hermits seeking ‘immortals’ they thought were living deep in the mountains.华山上陡峭的长空栈道于700年前建成,这本是那时的隐士为了找住在深山里的“长生不死”之人而建。
The walkway is only a foot width wide and has been built clinging to the absolutely vertical cliff. One misstep would send pilgrims plunging thousands of feet down into the valley.栈道只有一英尺宽,而且建得依附在绝对垂直的峭壁上。不慎失足便会让那些行者落入千丈深渊中。
These days, anyone brave enough to navigate the path does have to wear a special safety harness.近来,够胆之人想要通过这条栈道,必须戴着特殊的安全带。
A young woman poses for photographs along the walkway.一位年轻女士在栈道上摆拍。
Look! No hands! A man trusts his life to the safety harness.快看!竟然不用手!一名男士竟然将自己的生命寄托在安全带上!
Don’t look down! The man in the red jacket breaks the cardinal rule of mountaineering. But even if he is afraid, there’s no turning back.可别往下看啊!穿红夹克的男士打破了登山运动最基本的规矩。就算害怕也无路可退啦。
Thank goodness for those safety ropes.One misstep would send visitors plunging thousands of feet down into the valley.多亏了那些安全绳,不慎失足可是要将游客送入千丈深渊啊!
