Two Chinese couples with a taste for adventure staged their wedding pictures shoot hanging from a 100-metre-high cliff in southern China ahead of Valentine’s Day, a news website reported.

The two couples – the men in suits and women in wedding dresses – scaled the cliff at the Sandaomen scenic zone in Loudi, Hunan province, on Monday, Chinanews.com said.

To help their adventure, the brides, however, had to give up their high-heeled shoes for flat ones suitable for climbing.

With people across China’s biggest cities such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou celebrating Valentine’s Day on Tuesday, prices of roses have skyrocketed.

The flowers are now more than six times more expensive than they were last month, the Chongqing Morning Post reported.
