Ingin Menyentuh Langit? Coba Jalan di Tebing Ini

| No comment
Beijing - Bagi siapapun yang ingin menguji nyali dengan berjalan di ketinggian sekira 1.432 meter di atas permukaan laut, dapat mencobanya di China. Sebuah jalan setapak yang dibuat di sisi Gunung Tianmen, dijamin mampu memicu adrenalin.

langit jalan tebing

Pada sisi tebing Gunung ini dibuat jalur jalan kaki terbuat dari kaca. Bila seseorang berjalan di jalur ini, rasanya seperti tengah berjalan di langit. Demikian diberitakan Daily Mail, Jumat (11/11/2011). Para wisatawan yang hendak melewati jalur ini diharuskan menggunakan penutup sepatu. Hal tersebut memang sudah menjadi kewajiban agar kaca yang dilalui tetap terjaga kebersihannya.

Beberapa wisatawan yang mencoba melewati jalur ini tampak gugup, karena mereka berjalan dengan melihat langsung ke bawah jurang. Sementara pemandangan yang meliputi sekitar jalur tersebut, tentunya terlihat amat menakjubkan. Jalur pejalan kaki ini dibuat sepanjang 60,9 meter dan menghubungkan tebing sebelah barat dari puncak Gunung Yunmeng dan puncak Gunung Tianmen dan Zhang Jiajie. 

Pemerintah China membangun jalur ini, mengikuti jembatan yang dibuat di Grand Canyon di Amerika Serikat (AS). Jembatan di taman nasional AS itu dibangun pada ketinggian 1.219 meter dan dengan panjang sekira 21,3 meter. Jembatan itu juga dibuat dari kaca dan memiliki ketebalan hingga 63,5 centimeter.

Sementara Gunung Tianmen di China dikenal dengan banyaknya gua alam dan memiliki kekayaan tumbuhan yang langka. Kereta gantung juga digantung juga dibangun di taman nasional tersebut dengan panjang 4 mil, yang dikatakan sebagai yang terpanjang di dunia. Jalur serupa juga tengah dibangun di Gunung Shifou. Bila tersambung, jalur ini akan menjulur hingga sepanjang 2,8 kilometer.

Well, the way they make shows is, they make one show. That show's called a pilot. Then they show that show to the people who make shows, and on the strength of that one show they decide if they're going to make more shows.

Like you, I used to think the world was this great place where everybody lived by the same standards I did, then some kid with a nail showed me I was living in his world, a world where chaos rules not order, a world where righteousness is not rewarded. That's Cesar's world, and if you're not willing to play by his rules, then you're gonna have to pay the price.

You think water moves fast? You should see ice. It moves like it has a mind. Like it knows it killed the world once and got a taste for murder. After the avalanche, it took us a week to climb out. Now, I don't know exactly when we turned on each other, but I know that seven of us survived the slide... and only five made it out. Now we took an oath, that I'm breaking now. We said we'd say it was the snow that killed the other two, but it wasn't. Nature is lethal but it doesn't hold a candle to man.

You see? It's curious. Ted did figure it out - time travel. And when we get back, we gonna tell everyone. How it's possible, how it's done, what the dangers are. But then why fifty years in the future when the spacecraft encounters a black hole does the computer call it an 'unknown entry event'? Why don't they know? If they don't know, that means we never told anyone. And if we never told anyone it means we never made it back. Hence we die down here. Just as a matter of deductive logic.
