The Huangshan mountain range, located in China's Yellow Mountains, is crossed by a pedestrian road, one of the sections of which passes over a bridge called the "Bridge of the Immortals" by the locals. If you have ever wanted to test your fearlessness, then this place is exactly for you. The bridge with such a formidable name is squeezed by two massive granite peaks, but the main test is the path, consisting only of flimsy boards and chains that you need to hold on to so as not to fall into the abyss.
