The breathtaking Chang Kong Plank Road at Mount Huashan in northwest China's Shaanxi province has witnessed peak explorers since the renewal of its sightseeing cableway which was completed before the May Day holiday.
The five-day May day holiday started on Thursday.
The cableway, known as one of the world's most dangerous places to hike, hangs over 2,100 meters high on the cliffs of Mount Huashan, one of China's five most famous scenic mountains.
Over-200-meter-long steel cable has been renewed, fixed on the mountain with 88 anchor points and equipped with a titanium alloy locking system, raising its safety level to the industrial-grade standard.
In addition to the renewed cable, the scenic spot has also installed panoramic recorders on the walkway, set a limit of 30 tourists per hour for it, and required tourists to fasten their safety ropes when taking the plank walk.

Myanmar's new President U Min Aung Hlaing met Wang Yi, a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and Chinese foreign minister, in Nay Pyi Taw, Myanmar's capital, on Saturday.
Noting that Myanmar consistently regards its relationship with China as the most important bilateral tie, U Min Aung Hlaing emphasized that Myanmar stays committed to the one-China principle and highly appreciates and actively supports the China-proposed four global initiatives.
The new Myanmar government expects to strengthen high-level exchanges with China, advance the construction of the Myanmar-China Economic Corridor, and work together to maintain border peace and stability, while continuously deepening the comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership between the two countries, the president said.
Myanmar will never allow any activities that harm China's interests within its borders, and will continue to intensify its crackdown on online gambling and telecom fraud and take concrete measures to ensure the safety of Chinese personnel, institutions and projects in Myanmar, he added.
For his part, Wang stressed that China's policy toward Myanmar remains consistent. China firmly supports Myanmar in following a successful development path that suits its national conditions and is supported by its people; firmly supports Myanmar in safeguarding its national sovereignty, security and territorial integrity; and firmly supports Myanmar in achieving national peace, reconciliation and social harmony, he said.
Wang also noted that building a China-Myanmar community with a shared future perfectly aligns with the development and revitalization needs of both countries and serves the fundamental interests of both peoples, urging both sides to unswervingly follow this path.
China is willing to cooperate with Myanmar to resolutely and thoroughly eradicate online gambling and telecom fraud, he noted. China will also support Myanmar's participation in more dialogue and cooperation mechanisms and the enhancement of its interaction with ASEAN, Wang added.
