Vitaliy Raskalov and Vadim Makhorov have captured the attention of millions around the world who have been captivated by their "skywalking" stunts.

The two photographers have most recently scaled countless buildings in Russia and most recently the Great Pyramids in Egypt in June.

Now, the two daredevils have arrived in China and have already scaled the enormous Shanghai Tower, which stands at a staggering 2,000 feet.

The men have posted several videos and photos online of their incredible climbs up some of the most famous buildings in the world.

They have also posted videos and photos online of their adventures in Hong Kong which include a unique view of morning rush hour in the heart of the city.

The two have never said much about how they are able to evade security measures at the different locations. According to their social media posts, the two travel to various locations in Hong Kong throughout the day and night, moving quickly to avoid being detained for trespassing.

Raskalov and Makhorov have also inspired countless other thrill-seekers who seek to attempt the same risky stunts in their own cities and in locations around the globe.

In Brazil, a daredevil inspired by the Russian duo managed to scale the iconic Christ the Redeemer statue and then posed for a selfie that went viral and was shared by millions around the world.
