China’s Amazing 999-Step Mountaintop Obstacle Course! A Glass Skywalk Too!

Welcome To Tianmen Mountain!

Here is one of nature’s most amazing sights: a mountain that has a hole in it!

Tianmen Mountain in China is famous for its water-eroded cave, which literally formed a “hole” in the mountain! It also has an amazing pathway – an impressive flight of 999 stairs leading up to it. It take more than a half hour just to walk up it.

For one amazing Parkour athlete, he did the opposite – he RAN DOWN IT in two minutes – while filming with a goPro in his mouth!

Calen Chan performed this “ninja warrior” style magic.

Here’s how he explains the video:

“My name is Calen Chan, and this is a FULL POV RUN of the Skyladder Parkour course at Tianmen Mountain in China! I had the wonderful opportunity to come and play here at this beautiful location called Heaven’s Gate. It has an average incline of 45 degrees, and is 999 steps long (about 3 football fields)!”

Here is his youtube video of the run!

By the way, Tianmen Mountain in China also has a mile-high hiking trail – made of glass!

Yes, they built a glass walkway around the mountain!

I’ve shown you some of these incredibly dangerous mountain trails in China:

Speaking of Parkour, it reminds me of G4’s amazing show “Ninja Warrior!”

Yes, Olivia Munn took the challenge and rank this parkour course – see how she did here:

  1. Oops – my comment above was for your Tsunami post, sorry! This was an amazing video and hilarious to watch the people scurrying to get out of the way as they saw him coming down.

  2. Reblogged this on The Planking Traveler and commented:
    China has a ways to go before living up to high public safety standards. When we lived there, my Mom fell in a manhole while walking to work one day! Lots of adventurous places to visit, but just be aware of the fact that unexpected mishaps might increase the “excitement”.

  3. That’s a great video of the free-running, John. I liked all the surprised people trying to get out of the way. As for the hill/steps, I could probably manage to walk up them, normally!
    Best wishes, Pete.
