The route up Mount Hua in northwest China’s Shaanxi province has been named as one of the most dangerous hikes in the world, yet it still attracts flocks of visitors ready for an exhilarating experience as they move along narrow walkways on the side of a cliff face. /Xinhua Photo

In a photo collection by Xinhua News Agency, thousands of tourists were seen walking one after another on the Chang Kong Cliff Road on Mount Hua, one of the Five Great Mountains of China with a long history of religious significance. /Xinhua Photo

Built in ancient times, the walkway is made of wooden boards, nailed together and installed on a series of iron pegs driven into the sheer mountain cliff thousands of meters above the ground. / Xinhua Photo

Some sections of the walkway are as narrow as 30 centimeters wide. Frightening? Not for these daredevils. /Xinhua Photo
