The Huashan Teahouse is a Buddhist and Daoist temple nestled very high at the top of the southern-most peak of China’s holey Mount Hua.It has one of the most terrifying hiking paths in the world which only a few people dare to walk on.

The bright side of the story, the brave ones are refreshed with a damn fine cup of China’s best tea. What do you think, is it worth visiting?

This holy sacred Mountain consists of five separate peaks on the top of which are scattered a series of temples and shrines thanks to the religious and spiritual significance that has been ascribed to the mountain for many centuries.

Generally speaking, Mountains have an important and a symbolic place in the religious beliefs of Taoist. Mountains are, therefore, considered as a symbol of wealth which Taoist measure based on how many species of plants and animals are living in that area.

So, mountains are believed to be those sacred holy landmarks that the gods have blessed with their magic and miracles. To reach the temple, one should first take some steep stairs known as ‘’ the heavenly stairs’’. No worries this won’t stimulate your adrenaline rush!

But when these stairs turn to broken boards or scrap wood nailed into the mountainside and the railings totally disappear and you find yourself with a chain to hold onto, only then you will envy those who are still walking in the ground.

Even worse, you might even reach some points where the planks fall away leaving you with nothing but some pegs to stand on while you are hundreds of feet off the ground.

Despite the dangerous path, visitors continue to come to this place in greater numbers each year starving the serenity of the place and a cup of the hard-earned tea.
