Risk Vs.Reward

In China, atop Mount Hua, lies a tea house. Now that wouldn't be too impressive, if the path to said temple wasn't constructed by merely two feet of rickety old wooden planks secured to the sheer ledge of the mountain, which is nearly vertical and a 7,000 foot drop to the ground.

It's okay though, you have a chain to hold on to for dear life, as you progress across the pathway, step by step slowly evacuating you're bowel's across the treacherous mountainside.

This has become quite the tourist attraction, for thrill seeking idiots!

  2. perhaps the tea is just that good?

    I do feel sorry for the teahouse's tea suppliers though, having to haul several tonnes of teabags up that rickety path must be hard work!
