The 300ft spiral staircase has been installed on the wall of the Taihang Mountains in Linzhou to offer the thrill of mountaineering without the danger.
Chinese tourist officials in Linzhou, Henan province, hope the stairs will give visitors a real experience of the mountain range.
The Taihang Mountain range runs 250 miles through Shanxi, Henan and Hebei provinces.
"Here the wind blows and batters them, the birds fly past them, the stairs creak. It is a lot more authentic than an elevator," explained one official.
All potential climbers have to sign a form stating that they have no heart or lung problems and are under 60 years of age.
