This amazing rope bridge connects a small Chinese village with the rest of the world. The crossing is more than 3,200 ft (975 m) from cliff-face to cliff-face. The bridge is made of a few cables and a rickety steel basket. It has been manned by the same operator for 15 years since it was opened in 1997.

do they pay a fee?
how often does he replace or at least inspect the cables?
has there ever been an accident? death?

There is the man that you don't piss off.

If you live there and he's not on your christmas card list, expect a few really slow crossings......
