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.
