In a breathtaking display of skill and courage, elite slackliners took to the skies in the eighth edition of a competition in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park. Participants from around the world, including France, the US, and China, where the activity originated, braved a Chinese gorge 400 meters above two towering peaks, tackling a slackline that barely exceeded 2 centimeters in width.
