Teahouse in China

I have actually found a travelogue of what one could truly call a "journey of wonder." There is a widely-renowned tea house in China that only the fittest and most determined of people can reach. The journey begins with a tram ride up to the beginning of the mountain trail, though it actually isn't much of a trail. For a majority of the hike, you are clinging on for dear life onto a variety of bolts and chains fastened into rock walls as you shimmy across the walls on very narrow planks that are also bolted into the rock. Sound appealing?

It seems to get steeper and more precarious until you finally reach the top:the Tea House.


For some reason, I want to go and do this so badly! It looks so dangerous, but adventurous and fun! I'll bet the views are, quite literally, breathtaking. What a rush you would get on the side of some of those cliffs. I think these sorts of adventures are amazing, because they would never let anyone do anything like that in the US...there are way too many liabilities involved. You would have to sign a waiver or something at least. I really wonder how much business that tea house actually gets... and do the employees live there? What an interesting way of life that would be! This would be an incredible journey of wonder if I were ever able to do it. It's now on my list.
