High above the roaring waters of Tiger Leaping Gorge in southwest China’s Yunnan province, 31-year-old Zhang Liang balances on a slackline, which is just 2.5 centimeters wide. He crossed with nothing but a small rope attached to his waist to stop him from falling.
Zhang took just less than six minutes to walk 60 meters across one of the world’s most spectacular river canyons. With the stunt, Zhang broke the record of the longest slackline walk in China he had kept.
The Tiger Leaping Gorge is one of the deepest gorges in the world. According to a legend, a tiger escaped humans by leaping across the fierce waters where the canyon narrows, hence the name of Tiger Leaping Gorge.(CNS/Liu Ranheng)
