The Hua Mountain is well known for its mysticism, historically said to be where kung-fu masters come to compete for the honour of being #1. A short drive from where the Entombed Warriors are. Of course, those kung-fu masters don't need to use those planks and safety harnesses, they just bounce around from peak to peak on their toes.

Great video. Hope they change those planks every now and then.

Well technically it's not hiking, I mean it's like the via ferratas in Europe, you're always harnessed to something (still scary though). I wonder what's the most dangerous track (so an official marked track, not like an offtrack route) with no safety features.
