Wulingyuan Scenic Area in Zhangjiajie City, central China's Hunan Province, held its first high-altitude rope swing challenge from Sept. 12 to 15, which attracted 50 outdoor enthusiasts.

Participants enjoyed the extreme sport by jumping off of a cliff and swinging above a valley between the Bailong Elevator, the world's tallest outdoor elevator, and the beautiful terraced fields in the scenic area. Spanning 691 meters, the swing had a vertical drop of 335 meters to the bottom of the valley.
