I'm glad to see and experience this walk on video because there is NO WAY you would get me to actually walk on those planks. I watched with my knees trembling and my hands sweating. At one stage I realised I had stopped breathing. how people can put themselves through things like that is beyond me. Having said that, I say thank you to the young lady for having the courage to film the walk so that I could at least have the thrill without the danger.
Same. I could never do that but the view is mesmerising and I wish I could see it like that. However it makes me very nervous just watching ....so videos will have to do it for me
My stomach turns around just from watching this from the safe comfort of my house. I can not understand how you could just do this and be so relaxed, incredible. People are just wired differently. I wish I had the stomach to be able to do that.
Safety harness. If you slip and fall, you'll be caught by the harness around your chest. You'll then either scramble back up or someone will come and pull you back to the path.
I'm chinese, This mountain is definitely the most dangerous mountain open for tourist in china, it just like lots of Rock of Gibraltar combined together with countless steep cliffs.Most of the handrails and stairs are constructed recently in this century for concern about safety, my high school teacher told me when he climbed in 1980s there was little safe measures, tourists literally climb with foot and hand on the rock with no handrail on both sides.This mountain is a shrine for taosim believer, Taoism tradition believe that god resides in some unreachable mountain like there
@@kamto688 I just finished watching your video about hiking in Tiger Leaping Gorge. A few minutes ago, I also saw your comment under someone else's video. It's really interesting.
I was there couple years ago, and the “hotel” up there was so expensive that I decided to sleep on a big rock, in the morning when I woke up, I realized that rock is part of the cliff, couldn’t even see the bottom of it. In the night, you could see the Milky Way up there and constant shooting stars passing by, it was breathtaking, during the summer, it’s unbearably hot on the ground, but it was actually freaking cold up there in the night
Did the Milky Way iluminate you the long lost Huashan sword stances? You might sleep on the rock where the Grandmasters of Huashan used to cultivate their Huashan sword stances (kungfu). Huashan sword stances can make you fly, the plank just part of the training. Imagine, you need to go by it everyday to your training place, you can fly eventually. Legend.
The plank walk doesn't look so bad with the harness and double retention. What looks bad is the exhausting hike up there followed by the long wait in the cold at altitude. The combo of tiredness, dehydration and lowered core temp could make someone mentally fuzzy whilst on the plank walk, leading to tragedy. Great work showing the pathway to the attraction and great work getting to your train on time.
Missing a train in China is kind of bad because there are sooooo much people that you have to wait often 3 hours to get a new one. When you are on a trip everything is timed. But this country is soooo majestuous
@@mrnono5034 I missed a train from Qingdao to the interior because they ran out of tickets for 4 hours so I know the feeling haha. I hate heights though and would be considerably more concerned about falling.

We did not have cash to pay the taxi so he did not let us in. We missed our train so we had to take another one 4 hours after. Her parents took us from car in Taiyuan directly. That was so heartwarming.
@@ananyamanoj5714 I think the key is to go when there are clouds and mist. It will make the mountain look very fairyism. If it were a clear blue sky, it would be too monotonous and plain.
It was built by the ancient scholars on the huashan mountain. For them, walking on such a dangerous road is just like walking on an ordinary road. It is a kind of training for the mind, namely the normal mind. In addition, mount huashan has been a gathering place for practitioners since ancient times.

Beautiful!!! When I went to Huashan, about 20 years ago, there was no safety rope at all. Every year, several people fall off the cliff... While a lot people still like to go to Huashan, it's worthy.
Great video, brought back many memories when we went two plus years ago! We also waited over two hours before making it to the plank walk. The “no striding” actually means no climbing over the chain. One person in our group somehow dropped one shoe down the side of the mountain, better tie your shoe laces on tight! Oh and I think they may have started the fingerprint requirement after someone committed suicide by jumping off the plank walk a few years back. I assume it became a requirement because it’s an extra way to identify someone in case that were to ever happen again. Keep up the good work and thanks for bringing us along your adventures
Hey Claire! I must tell you those strings in the music, the videos and your experiences are in fact therapeutic! Sheer bliss I must say. Your music and the picturesque scenes elevate me. I do not have adequate words to describe my happiness and my regards to you. Thank you!
thanks Claire for the great post, it is my hometown and i am so happy to see your effort to make more and more people know about it. i have been to the plank like 30 years ago, at the time, there were no harness or any sort of protection at all, less people, less tourist oriented, but the scene is just beautiful. your video remind me of my memory, thank you
Utterly fantastic. I could do the cliff walk but I could never get up there. It's great that people can travel to really outstanding destinations in China nowadays

I really love this type of video because you don't put yourself in the foreground but simply let us accompany you on your journey. I've been to China but never got the chance to visit this spectacular mountain. Very interesting, thanks.
I would love to see a documentary "The Making of..." all the efforts and construction that made this hike possible, laying of cables, chiseling the rock etc.
What an epic hike!! That must have been an amazing experience. It is interesting how nervous you were on the "ladders" but you were fearless on the planks. Definitely allowed you to really enjoy the moment and incredible view!
The reason why they asked for the finger prints, is because someone used to commit suicide while walking on the plank walk. It took some effort to identify him.

"No Watching When Walking" I can kinda guess what the sign was originally saying in Chinese, must have been something like "Don't stop and look around when climbing the stairs", since it's a narrow staircase and if one stops and looks at the scenery or strikes a pose and takes a selfie etc, it would hold up everyone behind him and that's wasting everybody else's time who's trying to get to the top. The Chinese must have pulled the translation from Google Translate or something so it turned out so weird
Same goes for the "No Striding" sign, it actually says something like "Don't Go Beyond" or "Don't Go Over" in the original text, which is a warning sign telling you not to go over those chains because, well you would fall off a cliff. It's just poor translation, the word "striding" which means taking a long step in English, when said in Chinese also implies "to go over/across" something (The Chinese actually use this word for Hurdles, since they run and jump over hurdles and each jump is essentially like a very long stride, well kind of...), and they didn't consult any professional translator when making this sign so they just assumed it would imply the same thing in English, thus the funny result.
Have you worked with the Chinese language much? To English ears, it is missing Prepositions and adverbs which to an English speakers sounds child-like. I promise you the sign would not have "look around" that just is not Mandarin
@@wweeks Very interesting, what would you propose to put on a sign to convey the message of, now this is just what I picture in my mind: something like "The staircase is not an observation deck, please do not linger" to ward off selfie fanatics. Because "No Watching When Walking" makes no sense to me, how do you walk if you don't watch (where you're going)?
I have been to Huangshan Mountain many times. I have never done a cable car. Those cable cars are for the elderly and children. I usually climb up the steps from the bottom of the mountain at the south gate. It usually takes me 6 hours to climb to the top of the mountain. Then stayed one night in the mountains and climbed down the stairs step by step to the east gate.
This is Huashan Mountain not Huangshan Mountain...Those two are different. If you take a cable car in Huangshan Mountain you'll miss a lot nice views but not same in Huashan Mountain. You won't miss a lot in Huashan because the most exciting part is at the top of the mountain.
@Adiel Alfonso I imagine they just kept chipping away to make foot path then use the hammer to poke big holes for the planks at the same time extending the safety chain line. You also need balls of steel.

thanks for sharing this beautiful well documented experience ! Really love the part where you had no fear ! I cant even imagien the adrenaline rush you feel !
Aaron He is right. Hua Shan is famous for fights in Louis Cha’s Novels, especially in The Legend of Condor Heroes. We always say The Dual on Mount Hua to refer a top competition in a field.
I hope you do not mind me saying, but you are really beautiful, and I love your personality. You also seem to be fearless, because that walk you did after you had to sign the waver, looked scary as hell. I could never do that. It made my legs weak just watching that part of your video, lol. Anyways, great video. The scenery was so beautiful. I wish you safe travels in the future.
lol about the toilet paper. I don't know if it has improved since I went back last time. But we were always told to bring our own toilet paper because it always either run out (because of population density), or they would charge you for it. Though I didn't have any issues at the few airports that I flew from.
I hope your future is getting better and better, still live the way you like, do what you like, and the most important thing is to be healthy and happy every day in the future.
Watching on my phone at 4am in bed & squeezing my phone so tight every time you get close or look over the edge!!😃 I don't know why I'm scared it's only a couple feet down to the floor from my bed!! You maybe be fine Claire, but clearly I'm not!! LOL!!
terrifying! I was already scared at the start where these wet, small, high and unregular stairs made out of stone without any safety were climbed but this walk right next to the cliff?? I'd probably pass out. uh uh not for me- We got some very brave people in this video
I'm glad you filmed this while doing it. It means I don't need too 8-))... So thank you. You saved me getting acrophobia, closely followed by basophobia and then really falling ;-))...

Respect ✊🏾 too you!!! I will never do that in a million years or for a million dollars!!! I am afraid of heights! I am getting the chills by looks at this through the lens of my phone. Thank you for sharing and God bless!!!
honest advice: you can always rebook your train at the station. it's relatively cheap, not like airlines
对外国人来说很麻烦的。国人有身份证所以方便
They had a flight to catch afterwards
It is sooo beautiful! Love it. You guys are amazing.
I think your parents are so proud of you, your adventures, and your video works👍🌹
That was an incredible view...thanks so much for sharing that with us...my hands were actually sweating just watching !!
thanks for sharing this beautiful well documented experience ! Really love the part where you had no fear ! I cant even imagien the adrenaline rush you feel !
The laminator/printer made me laugh out loud when it came up.
So, this is the mountain where most of the Kungfu fights took place in Louis Cha novels? 😬
Aaron He is right. Hua Shan is famous for fights in Louis Cha’s Novels, especially in The Legend of Condor Heroes. We always say The Dual on Mount Hua to refer a top competition in a field.
華山論劍
So 金庸 is known as Louis cha.
@Aaron No definetely Seb K is right. The highest level martial competetion takes place on Huashan Moutain in Louis Cha's novel. Search 华山论剑
wow you know the Chinese novel
Beautiful video Claire. Thank you.
I hope you do not mind me saying, but you are really beautiful, and I love your personality. You also seem to be fearless, because that walk you did after you had to sign the waver, looked scary as hell. I could never do that. It made my legs weak just watching that part of your video, lol. Anyways, great video. The scenery was so beautiful. I wish you safe travels in the future.
Thanks Claire! Your video records the most beautiful Huashan!!!!
Love and enjoy watching your clips !! ❤️
As Chinese working in Japan, this video really letting me want to travel my country😂
I must go Mount Hua in some days!
Thanks for sharing! I didn't know this place is so tough and great!
EPIC FOOTAGE :) I did this hike back in 2014, but did not do as magical of a job with the lighting and coloration! Great job :)
lol about the toilet paper. I don't know if it has improved since I went back last time. But we were always told to bring our own toilet paper because it always either run out (because of population density), or they would charge you for it. Though I didn't have any issues at the few airports that I flew from.
Wow, it is like you could step out and walk on the clouds up there
The plank along the cliff has existed for thousand years.
hope it's not the same plants of wood.
@@hansdoreen 😂
Hans yea, they have not changed them since Yuan dynasty. It’s probably about 1200 years
@@jililin2078 啊？应该有换过吧
@@doctorzhong8599 现在都是定期更换的。下面的梁柱最初也是木头，现在都换成钢桩了。
they used to have a tournement on top of Huashan, people duel out who is the best swordsman. ok this is a myth.

I hope your future is getting better and better, still live the way you like, do what you like, and the most important thing is to be healthy and happy every day in the future.
BEST Mt Huashan Plank Video ever!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks
Brings back great memories. Visited Xi'an and walked the planks back in March 07, Miss those times with friends.
What a pitty I didn't try this when I was there in 2008, I was just so scared at the moment. You guys are so brave!
You made climbing HUASHAN, one of the most nerve-wracking advanture like an extra stop at the grocery store out of your busy daily commute😂
Thank you for sharing! You are quite daring!
Totally hectic. I would never do it myself.
Your video is the most details and beautiful of all. I wished many more could have seen yours.
freaking pretty scenery !!
Really exciting! As a Chinese, haven't been there myself. Wanna try some day!
other video that I've seen is so scary, but when u smile and enjoy at plank wall, I think I should give it a try, will come to xian next two weeks.
Watching on my phone at 4am in bed & squeezing my phone so tight every time you get close or look over the edge!!😃 I don't know why I'm scared it's only a couple feet down to the floor from my bed!! You maybe be fine Claire, but clearly I'm not!! LOL!!
1000 times i recommend huashan plank to all the friends i met on the road but i indeed never made it, tks for the video and it was sooooo amazing!
OMG this is like an amazing race. Thanks for sharing. I plan to be there -Xi'an in May 2020. IT would be fun.
terrifying! I was already scared at the start where these wet, small, high and unregular stairs made out of stone without any safety were climbed but this walk right next to the cliff?? I'd probably pass out. uh uh not for me- We got some very brave people in this video
so lucky to see the mountain in fog, what a nice traveling.
I'm glad you filmed this while doing it. It means I don't need too 8-))...
So thank you. You saved me getting acrophobia, closely followed by basophobia and then really falling ;-))...
Thank you for making the trip and sharing this video. I have been to China three times; not this location however. Thank you for making it possible for me to experience it vicariously.
The long wait ought to make a lot of people think twice
Looks like heaven.
The scenery is amazing when the cloud is moving constantly. I did walking the plank in 2015 when I was 55! 😅😅😅👍👍👍
When I went to Huashan, I didn't dare do what just did😂 Brave girl
Funny, easy, honest, I really enjoyed your adventure, which you told in such an convincing way.
Well done Claire and Justin, what a great channel you have!
That little shrine or temple upon the last peak looks so inviting. I could see myself living the remainder of my life beneath its tiled roof with the feeling of utter bliss.
