Plank Road in the Sky, China - Wooden Planks on the Edge of a Mountain

The Plank Road in the Sky in China is a wooden path bolted to the side of a cliff on Mount Huashan. This bridge, which is essentially a narrow walkway of wooden planks, requires climbers to wear safety harnesses as they traverse the cliffside. The planks are just a few feet wide, with sheer drops on one side, creating a terrifying experience for those afraid of heights. The walkway's simplicity and exposure to the elements make it a perilous journey, and the views of the valley below are as beautiful as they are intimidating.

This bridge is not for the faint-hearted and is often considered one of the most dangerous trails in the world.
