Is this the most dangerous attraction in the world?

January 26, 2012

Holy shit! This hike along the face of Mount Huashan in China, thousands of feet in the air, is one of the most dangerous attractions in the world. Yeah, that’s right! It’s an attraction! You get down some “steps” (why the quotes you ask? Because they are just notches in the rock!) and walk over 1 foot wide wooden planks tied into the face of the cliffs.
