The following is a list of the many Cliffwalks that have been constructed at scenic areas throughout the world but mostly in China. Nearly all of these cantilevered walkways are just 2 to 3 meters in width and are built with simple temporary wood or steel frames, I have not included them in the main categories of more substantial engineering structures. Most of these cliffwalks are made of concrete supported by embedded steel rebar that is anchored directly into large holes drilled into the cliff face.


Unlike bridges, the height measurement of these platforms depends on whether the owners are touting a height vertically straight down from the outermost edge of the structure to the wall of the cliff below or to the lowest elevation point of the river surface at the bottom of the valley. By using an elevation difference between the river and the platform, the operators of the attraction can boast a much higher figure for the “height” even though an object falling from the end of the platform would never drop to the lowest point of the valley.

The following cliffwalks are ranked on the maximum 80 to 90 degree near vertical drop height of the highest point on the structure to the talus below. Nearly all of these figures are based on estimates from my analyzing of photos or from using a laser rangefinder as most scenic areas will exaggerate this height. If you know of a cliffwalk that was not included then send me the information on the walkway so I can add it to the list. Enjoy!
