The world's scariest swimming pool?
A Chinese hotel has built what might just be the world's scariest swimming pool.
The glass-bottomed pool, at the Holiday Inn Shanghai Pudong Kangqiao, partly hangs over a 24-storey drop.
Offering a birds-eye view to the street below, the cantilever pool is designed to make guests feel they are swimming in the sky.
The 30 metre-long and 6m-wide pool was designed by Singaporean company Chan Sau Yan Associates and is the first of its kind in China.
"We wanted to provide our guests a unique swimming experience, and let them feel they're vacationing even in a bustling city," a hotel spokesperson said.
One impressed hotel guest said: "I felt as if I was flying in the sky - I could also enjoy the beautiful scenery of Pudong from here."

Oops, was that the glass I just heard crack? No thanks, I'll stick to the pool at our local leisure centre.

That looks amazing! However, I'm a tad concerned about the plane heading right for the building!

If that plane hits the building atleast you wont burn while swiming.

Don't worry, a plane that tiny will hardly scratch the glass!
