Walking bridge over the Huangshan Mountains is called Fairy Bridge. A few decades earlier, only immortal could cross it...
The Huangshan Mountains in eastern China, were formed over 100 million years ago. During this time, they changed their shape thousands of times due to passing glaciers by, inspired many poets and directors, and ..... took more than one life.

The Fairy Walking Bridge connects two rocks at an altitude of 1320 meters above sea level. Until 1987, the local residents had to walk over the abyss along the old hanging path, many of them fell down - it hence the name "bridge of the immortals". The current bridge construction is safe for pedestrians, but the former ill fame of this place has remained.
