Three students have taken extreme selfies to new heights - by snapping a gravity-defying video at the top of Hong Kong's fifth highest building, The Centre.
In a YouTube video, the teenagers scaled the famous 1,135ft skyscraper and are seen perched perilously high, with the a panorama of the city behind them.
Photographer Daniel Lau used a 'selfie stick' mounted with a camera fitted with a wide-angle lens to capture the stomach churning footage.
Two friends, fellow photographers Anrew Tso and A.S, are shown casually eating bananas at the beginning of the video clip, which has received over 450,000 views since it was posted last week.
The trend for taking extreme selfies has exploded in recent months, especially in Russia, where 'skywalkers', as they are known, climb buildings, cranes and construction sites to take photographs and share online. The death-defying stunts are carried out without safety nets.

In June, 31-year-old Londoner Lee Thompson took the world's first 'selfie with Jesus'. The
travel company boss became an internet sensation when he shared his
selfie from the top of Brazil's iconic Christ The Redeemer statue in
June.
