HILARIOUS footage shows terrified tourists screaming and crying as they attempt to cross giant glass walkway in China.

Located in Tianmen Mountain National Park, the vertigo-inducing Coiling Dragon Cliff skywalk attracts thousands of tourists since opening in May– but not all of them are willing participants.

The video even features a scared dog being pulled along the glass bridge while frozen stiff by the sight of the horrifying 984 feet to the ground.

The structure snakes around Tianmen Mountain in the central province of Hunan and is 328 feet long featuring 99 nauseating turns.

Chinese tourism chiefs have opened another teeth-rattling bridge in Zhangjiajie park which is about an hour drive north of Tianmen Mountain.

The glass-bottomed suspension structure is the world’s ‘highest and longest’ bridge.

Measuring 1,400 feet long and suspended 1,000 feet above ground level it officially opened in August.

Tourists can walk across the bridge, designed by Israeli architect Haim Dotan, and the more adventurous will be able to bungee jump or ride a zip line.

To celebrate its opening, officials organised a number of special events, including one where people were encouraged to try and smash the bridge's glass panels with a sledge hammer to demonstrate its safety.

Another event saw a car being towed along it to test the strength of the 99 panels of clear glass.
