Dare to Thrill-Seek at the Most Epic Travel Destinations in the World

Climb the Mount Huashan Ascent–Shaanxi Province, China

There are three routes up the Huashan North Peak, but the most popular is the Hua Shan Yu Ascent. The first humans to climb the gorge developed the pass around the 3rd to 4th centuries of the common era. The Huashan peaks are traditionally part of religious ceremonies, but many travelers climb them simply to say they did it. Depending on how one ascends, there are dangers, like the plank walk, a suspended trail of boards along the cliff. Risks are low for those who plan accordingly, perfect for the inexperienced thrill seeker.
