The picture is viral for it is shocking to see men wearing safety harnesses attached to the pylon and taking a nap at such a height. The picture is equally heartbreaking as well.

According to the South China Morning Post report, the workers, wearing full-body safety harnesses attached to the pylon, were filmed snoozing comfortably on the narrow steel bars in Chenzhou, Hunan province.

"Since it's really tiring to climb up the tower, we would only climb back down to ground level for our lunch," one of the workers told SCMP. They climb up the tower and take naps. The first time is always nerve-racking, but they slowly get used to the height.
