Gravity Defying Stairs
There are two options getting to / coming back from the summit of Huashan, one of the Five Great Mountains of China and one true to its reputation as the "most precipitous mountain under heaven".
The first one would be a cable car, from which that picture was taken.
Why would that picture be taken from there you might ask?
Well, that's pretty simple : the second way to reach Hua Shan's summit is up this path called the Soldier's Path, here on display, that's is supposed to go on for hours of doing nothing else but climbing some infinite stairs.
Also, I remember playing a drinking game on local beer the night before getting here, turning that day into a looooong struggle without money, water or food, due to the fact that I forgot all that being woken up at the very last moment before taking the bus.
So all I had was a headache.
Which was, in the end, enough to ride the cable car.
