Hold your breath and don't look down. It's a high-altitude contest for the brave.

A slackline contest kicked off in Wulingyuan Scenic Area at Zhangjiajie, Central China's Hunan Province. Ten contestants from China, The United States, Germany, France and Canada compete on a narrow slackline, which is 200 meters above the ground.

Wulingyuan is known for its towering cliffs and mountain formations. It was inscribed as a UNEWSCO World Heritage Site in 1992. The contest was held on Huangshizhai, one of the highest area of Wulingyuan with a height of 1092 meters above sea level.
