The sky path along the cliff

Huashan Mountain in the West has always been regarded as the most precipitous of the five mountains, and the most precipitous of Huashan Mountain is the long empty plank road on the Wanren cliff of south peak of Huashan Mountain, which is about 2160 meters high. The foot is the abyss. When tourists walk, they must face the wall and stick to their belly. The safety belt is fixed on the iron rope on one side of the cliff. Even if they fasten the safety belt, most people walk in such a stack On the road, we can only be frightened and hold our breath.

The road is cut in the waist of Nanfeng. The top and bottom of the road are cliffs. The iron cables hang horizontally. The road is made of stones and fixed by stone columns. Due to the precipitous plank road, the local people have the saying that "be careful, be careful, find the body in Shangzhou, Luonan". It's just a way to explore, not the only way to climb. Timid tourists can wait and see. If they are not sure of their physical strength and courage, they should not take risks easily. Therefore, there are many warning words on the stone carvings, such as "rein in the horse on the precipice".

Reminder:

1. There has been a real event that tourists have fallen and died of heart attack due to fear here. Please do not try it easily if you are in good health.

2. For safety reasons, safety ropes must be used to get involved.

Although the stack is blocked by copper pillars and iron ropes, it is not as wide as a foot. It's more than 20 feet to the end. The lower part is a well, about three feet high, and the outer part is a stack. "

"Shuo Ling" also has a record that: "the long empty stack is on the half wall, eight inches wide, more than ten Zhang long, empty on the back."

Wu Tongchun's Taihua Shuang You Ji describes the posture of the plank road more vividly: "hang the double rope down, walk on the wall, arm edge rope, feet move horizontally, heel often falls outside the board..."

The cliff is tens of meters from the top, and the valley bottom is not seen at least two or three hundred meters from the bottom. The width of the plank road is only more than 30 centimeters. There is no railing hanging on one side, and there is an iron rope nailed on the other side.

The road is divided into three sections, from Shifang of Nantianmen to the west of CHAOYUANDONG. The road is chiseled out from the cliff, 20 meters long and about two feet wide, which is the upper section. It is folded down, and the gap across the cliff is like a hanging ladder in the air. Visitors have to pull the rope down step by step, which is called "jixiajia", which is the middle section. The west section is the lower section. The road builder chisels a stone hole on the cliff, wedges it into the stone pile, and sets up three rafters between the stone piles At this point, the face of the wall is close to the abdomen, and the wooden rafters move forward horizontally.
