Most DANGEROUS Hike in the World? Huashan Plank Walk 

I'm glad to see and experience this walk on video because there is NO WAY you would get me to actually walk on those planks. I watched with my knees trembling and my hands sweating. At one stage I realised I had stopped breathing. how people can put themselves through things like that is beyond me. Having said that, I say thank you to the young lady for having the courage to film the walk so that I could at least have the thrill without the danger.

she's on a terrifying hike on a cliff side and she's more anxious about missing a train...unbelievable.

My stomach turns around just from watching this from the safe comfort of my house. I can not understand how you could just do this and be so relaxed, incredible. People are just wired differently. I wish I had the stomach to be able to do that.

I'm chinese, This mountain is definitely the most dangerous mountain open for tourist in china, it just like lots of Rock of Gibraltar combined together with countless steep cliffs.Most of the handrails and stairs are constructed recently in this century for concern about safety, my high school teacher told me when he climbed in 1980s there was little safe measures, tourists literally climb with foot and hand on the rock with no handrail on both sides.This mountain is a shrine for taosim believer, Taoism tradition believe that god resides in some unreachable mountain like there

I was there couple years ago, and the “hotel” up there was so expensive that I decided to sleep on a big rock, in the morning when I woke up, I realized that rock is part of the cliff, couldn’t even see the bottom of it. In the night, you could see the Milky Way up there and constant shooting stars passing by, it was breathtaking, during the summer, it’s unbearably hot on the ground, but it was actually freaking cold up there in the night

you guys are so lucky to visit huashan in the perfect weather!!! so beautiful

The plank walk doesn't look so bad with the harness and double retention. What looks bad is the exhausting hike up there followed by the long wait in the cold at altitude. The combo of tiredness, dehydration and lowered core temp could make someone mentally fuzzy whilst on the plank walk, leading to tragedy. Great work showing the pathway to the attraction and great work getting to your train on time.

Her on a cliff “I’m fine!” Me watching the video in my bed “I’m not!!”

MY GOD! 😮 I can’t believe you did that!

China is absolutely a country with amazing sceneries.

太美了，简直难以置信的景色，以前看书别人说华山宛如仙境，现在相信了。有空的话我一定也要去一次。欢迎来中国玩，祝你玩得开心。 google translation： It's so beautiful, it's an incredible scenery. In the past, others read that Huashan is like a fairyland, and now I believe it. I will definitely go there once I have time. Welcome to China and have fun.

She holding her camera makes me more and more anxious 😮😮😧😧😦😦

Just a normal day printing some papers at the edge of a cliff..

the most amazing thing is the builder , can't imagine how they build this bridge along the cliff

Beautiful!!! When I went to Huashan, about 20 years ago, there was no safety rope at all. Every year, several people fall off the cliff... While a lot people still like to go to Huashan, it's worthy.

Great video, brought back many memories when we went two plus years ago! We also waited over two hours before making it to the plank walk. The “no striding” actually means no climbing over the chain. One person in our group somehow dropped one shoe down the side of the mountain, better tie your shoe laces on tight! Oh and I think they may have started the fingerprint requirement after someone committed suicide by jumping off the plank walk a few years back. I assume it became a requirement because it’s an extra way to identify someone in case that were to ever happen again. Keep up the good work and thanks for bringing us along your adventures

11:24 My hats to human who build this things.

I feel dizzy just by watching the vid. Amazing hike.

The background music is so perfect. It's complementary vs distracting. Great job

9:37 best office in the world.

chinese dude has a mini office on the side of the cliff. lmao whaaaat

This is the part of the game where we usually die 10 times before getting to the checkpoint.

Utterly fantastic. I could do the cliff walk but I could never get up there. It's great that people can travel to really outstanding destinations in China nowadays

imagine how those ancient Chinese people constructed this trail

Constant pee tickles the entire time that cliff was on screen. My fear of heights is alive and well, apparently.

"No watching while walking" Clarie: vlogging while walking lmao

Dangerous to walk, imaging the people who built the path...

Claire's mood is phenomenal, considering the circunstances and danger. Keep smiling, please! That helps me to ignore the vertigo that overcomes me at the sheer dreamy thought of being in a place like this! I'd rather swim in a remote arm of the amazon river with all it's eventual dangers! Big hug!

The reason why they asked for the finger prints, is because someone used to commit suicide while walking on the plank walk. It took some effort to identify him.

The adventurous side of me would love to try that but my brain says no.

Bravo Claire, your enthusiasm is contagious.

What a trip! I was exhausted from climbing Huashan alone.

OMG! That looks dangerous. What the hell! I feel my feet are floating just watching this. 😱😱😱

Now I have to go back to China, the Blank Walk was closed due to weather but I'm so glad you got to experience it. Thanks for sharing :) --Cheers

thanks Claire for the great post, it is my hometown and i am so happy to see your effort to make more and more people know about it. i have been to the plank like 30 years ago, at the time, there were no harness or any sort of protection at all, less people, less tourist oriented, but the scene is just beautiful. your video remind me of my memory, thank you

this is my hometown. I miss everything there : (

I would love to see a documentary "The Making of..." all the efforts and construction that made this hike possible, laying of cables, chiseling the rock etc.

I really love this type of video because you don't put yourself in the foreground but simply let us accompany you on your journey. I've been to China but never got the chance to visit this spectacular mountain. Very interesting, thanks.

Thanks Claire! Your video records the most beautiful Huashan!!!!

Don't know why I started laughing as soon as I saw that printer placed on the side of the mountain at that height!

Beautiful video Claire. Thank you.

Looks like heaven.

Thank you for sharing! You are quite daring! Totally hectic. I would never do it myself.

The laminator/printer made me laugh out loud when it came up.

my both hands has sweated when i watch this...

Wow I think I went up there when I was a kid. Can’t remember the beauty of it now. Glad you enjoyed your trip there Claire. Stay safe!

Incredible nature. Thanks for the ride!

This is the most terrifying video I have ever watched.

Not just the mountain, but your whole journey getting to and from the different points was an adventure! Thank you for sharing:)

I'm shaking..IT SO SCARING!!

Respect ✊🏾 too you!!! I will never do that in a million years or for a million dollars!!! I am afraid of heights! I am getting the chills by looks at this through the lens of my phone. Thank you for sharing and God bless!!!

The most beautiful mountain I've ever seen ❤️❤️❤️

Many thank yous for making this video. Something I might never do I was able to experience because of you. Thank you.

That was an incredible view...thanks so much for sharing that with us...my hands were actually sweating just watching !!

I get the shiver watching you walk along the planks. I am scare of height

Hey Claire! I must tell you those strings in the music, the videos and your experiences are in fact therapeutic! Sheer bliss I must say. Your music and the picturesque scenes elevate me. I do not have adequate words to describe my happiness and my regards to you. Thank you!

Thanks for sharing! Enjoyable. Best vlog of this genre. Something about your narration, choice of travel moments and editing allows the viewer to vicariously travel along side. Thankyou, again!

OMG, I have to admit that I stopped to breathe while you walked that planks. Unbelievable. And I can't even imagine how they've built that walk...

I think your parents are so proud of you, your adventures, and your video works👍🌹

It is sooo beautiful! Love it. You guys are amazing.

Love and enjoy watching your clips !! ❤️

Whoa!! How cool!! Claire (and Justin) thanks for doing that hike. I don't know if I could do it, but maybe one day I'll try!! Thanks!!

That was just INCREDIBLE. THANK YOU SO MUCH

Thanks for sharing! I didn't know this place is so tough and great!

freaking pretty scenery !!

Just been going through this series, brings back wonderful memories of when I went in 2019 before the world went crazy. thxs for that

Like heaven up there!

that was a great adventure.

thanks for sharing this beautiful well documented experience ! Really love the part where you had no fear ! I cant even imagien the adrenaline rush you feel !

I had chills watching this

Whao! Whao!! Certainly not for the faint-hearted! Can't find another place like this in the whole world.

"No Watching When Walking" I can kinda guess what the sign was originally saying in Chinese, must have been something like "Don't stop and look around when climbing the stairs", since it's a narrow staircase and if one stops and looks at the scenery or strikes a pose and takes a selfie etc, it would hold up everyone behind him and that's wasting everybody else's time who's trying to get to the top. The Chinese must have pulled the translation from Google Translate or something so it turned out so weird

As Chinese working in Japan, this video really letting me want to travel my country😂 I must go Mount Hua in some days!

Funny, easy, honest, I really enjoyed your adventure, which you told in such an convincing way. Well done Claire and Justin, what a great channel you have!

Welcome to my hometown, and enjoy your trip.

Amazing & Fun Trip especially when you were " stepping " on the vertical cliff wall ..... ! Heart beating & legs shaking scary moment ! ！

That was amazing climbing the mountains and walking on the edge of the the hill the view was Fantastic thanks Claire

I love your videos Claire, so authentic and so well shot and edited.......you have a fan here. Looking forward to your future adventures (and kudos to Justin) :)

i was there last Tuesday ,so lucky had a sunny day,very beautiful

3:26 just amazing!

Claire I am so happy you made it on time!!

I am considering taking time off work this summer to hike Half Dome in Yosemite Park. This definitely beats Half Domes cable ladder. Wish I had the resources. Awsum vid. thanks for sharing.

Great video, the scenery was breath taking! So what I learned from this video before attempting these excursions, was that it's best to be in top shape, bring layered clothing, give yourself at least 24 to 48 hours in between these excursions before a flight to catch breath, relax and enjoy. I would like to add a couple of tips, especially in China. I found that traveling about a week before huge holidays like National Day or Chinese New Year Festival is perfect if you want to avoid people and, like Claire mentioned, travel early. I personally like to arrive first thing in the morning even if it's just before they open the parks. I value my sanity and peace. Also, you can actually take lots of pictures of scenery before people start arriving. And of course, travel as light as possible!

Gorgeous!! I was on the plank during heavy mist. =.=" surely will go again!!

AMAZING!

This is much safer than I did many years ago, and I didn't have a safety rope at all. thanks for sharing.

You made climbing HUASHAN, one of the most nerve-wracking advanture like an extra stop at the grocery store out of your busy daily commute😂

What an epic hike!! That must have been an amazing experience. It is interesting how nervous you were on the "ladders" but you were fearless on the planks. Definitely allowed you to really enjoy the moment and incredible view!

I've been there 3 times, full of memories. Glad you share it.

so lucky to see the mountain in fog, what a nice traveling.

Brings back great memories. Visited Xi'an and walked the planks back in March 07, Miss those times with friends.

So, this is the mountain where most of the Kungfu fights took place in Louis Cha novels? 😬

EPIC FOOTAGE :) I did this hike back in 2014, but did not do as magical of a job with the lighting and coloration! Great job :)

Really exciting! As a Chinese, haven't been there myself. Wanna try some day!

The plank along the cliff has existed for thousand years.

Good videography shooting and narration. Emphatize with your trip. Thank you. 👍

Thank you for sharing this with us!

So beautiful yet dangerous !!..

What a pitty I didn't try this when I was there in 2008, I was just so scared at the moment. You guys are so brave!
