3Mount Huashan Plank Walk, China

China has some wild attractions like its abandoned Paris-like city and the now-demolished Wonderland, but its deadliest destination is the Mount Huashan plank walk. Tourists find it hard to resist the challenge of balancing on the shaky wooden boards suspended 7,000 feet in the air.

Some hikers like to play around and cling to the chain on the cliff with only one hand or stand on the boards with one leg, but one slip up can lead to a long drop to the valley below. Nearly 100 people die every year on the Mount Huashan plank walk. Those who survive the journey reach the Taoist monasteries and enjoy a hot cup of tea.
