The road to the trail has a long beginning. First you need to go through a long staircase on the northern vertex, which is called "Heavenly Staircase". It seems that it leads to the sky, as it is impossible to see where her steps end. At the end, the stairs are at home and is located a village where even there are hotels.

Climbing to the top is very dangerous, there are practically no roads, in places the steps are joined in the granite rock.
Peaks mountain Massiva Called according to four sides of the light, and the fifth central.

But the transition from the northern peak to the southern peak, scares tourists to breathtomasses. And the name he carries the corresponding - "death trail".
At a huge height along the sheer cliffs over the abyss, it is very narrow, about 35-40 centimeters width. There are no railings or safety barriers, you can only hold on for the chains, driven into the wall or move, tightly clung and hugging the rock.
Before the "death trail" began to be known to tourists from other countries, there were no chains at all, the locals rose just on the boards. For those who overcome their horror, and is able to do at least a step over the abyss put on yet the safety belt that Carabin is attached to the rope stretched along the trail.

Mount Huashan
Briefly should be said directly about Huashan Mount. This is the western mountain of the five Great Mountains of China. In fact, the mountain has several peaks. Initially, it was classified as a mountain with three vertices, but it is considered now that she has five peaks. The highest - southern peak with a height of 2,54.5 meters (according to other data height of 2 160 meters).
At the top of the mountain there is a tea room, which is actually one of many Taoist temples located on the five vertices constituting the mountain Huashan. Given that the first inhabitants of this region were monks and a ascetic lifestyle, their daily meditation was accompanied by a cup of tea.
Thus, gradually the temple became a tea, which thousands of tourists visit annually. But it's not so easy to get to this secluded place. The tea vertex of the mountain is located on its south side, at an altitude of 2155 meters. Having passed along the path of death, you can get to the top.
Trail of death
Many people annually go to the conquest of one of the most dangerous pedestrian routes in the world. No wonder it is called the death path. It consists of steady stairs and boards born to stones. Each step of this road is accompanied by a powerful emission of adrenaline from any person.

Heavenly staircase On the way to the top you can see at home and even small villages. However, the road does not end here. This is only the beginning and most affordable part of the journey. As soon as you find yourself on the south side of the mountain, you will find one of the most dangerous routes in the world.
This part of the path is made of thin boards, which are fixed on the mountainside. To preserve the balance, you must hold on the chains, also fixed on the slopes. Sometimes you can use small holes in the rock. There are practically no security tools.
We think that when (and if) you will reach the end of the way, tea on the top of the mountain in aggregate with adrenaline will be incredibly tasty.
Someone overcomes a crazy path only to prove to themselves something or ripping nerves (for himself and relative). But in the world there are the most real road of the death of Jungas. People use it only because another path is simply not.

But the attraction is really dangerous. Visiting the trail of death paid.
Crowds of tourists storm the death path Recently, various security systems are being introduced, for example, safety cables.

The most famous segment of the trail is the edge of the green dragon - with the abuse on both sides of the steps.
From the village of Huashan to the top of the mountain, it takes from six to nine hours, but you can stay at night both in the village itself and in fairly modest hotels on the route.
