Is this the most dangerous tourist trail in the world?

You have to use this path if you want to visit the temple for God of Mt. Huashan in China. I think these paths are more for the thrill seekers but still, if you want to visit the temple, it is the only route to take.

Slip and you’ll be screaming in a 6 thousand plus feet fall (Click on the picture for a larger view).

It will get complicated if you meet another tourist from the opposite direction.

An update on the story of the tragic end for James Kim, it seems that the whole search operation was doomed for failure. Since the search was spread across different counties, there was no central command for the whole operation and important information was not being relayed properly. Even the breakthrough of finding the mobile “ping” and the copters that found Kati and her children were outside of the official search party.

The search-and-rescue coordinator now acknowledges she was overwhelmed by the demands of the search. She failed to call for help from the National Guard, which meant that heat-detecting helicopters stayed on the ground in the crucial two nights James Kim slept in the forest.

Her direct supervisor, an undersheriff in his last week on the job, said he ignored a late-night call from her about the case because he was watching an Oregon State football game on television.

It was like Katrina all over again.
