Worlds Most Dangerous Tourist Hiking Trail

This is the most hair-raising experience you can have on your own two legs!  This is a heavy-tourist traffic area in Xian (Mt.Huashan), this link explains more about the area. The hanging wooden planks are a real tourist hike path, which hundreds of daredevils navigate – with no safeguards in sight. Try to step on them in slippery, snowy conditions… or better not.
This is a goal…

Finally in sight, the TEAHOUSE (hostel)!
Would you dare hike to this Teahouse? How’d they get that building material up there??? I’d go almost anywhere for a pint – but a cup of tea? Forget it…
