Plank Road
Building the world's highest unsafe construction scaffolds
Workers build a footpath around the vertical slopes of Shifou Mountain in Hunan Province, China
This footpath is a plank road on the side of the mountain. Once finished, it will stretch for 3km (9843 ft) and be China's longest sightseeing footpath
48-year-old Yu Ji is one of the workers - he's been working on high cliffs building such plank roads for more than 10 years. He says,'Young people don't want this job, as it requires them to stay deep in the mountains for months'
Yu Ji takes charge of the most dangerous part of the project - drilling the holes to set up pipes to support the footpath
Building a plank road on Shifou Mountain is difficult because the cliff stands vertical at 90 degrees, without any slope or alcoves
