Located in Eastern China, this is one of the most extreme mountain hikes you can undertake today. It is also one of the most beautiful places in the world and is marked as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The area is also known as one of the best places in the world to watch the sunrise as the light bounces off the granite peaks.

Also known in Spanish as El Caminito del Rey or "The King's little pathway", this is a walkway that long ago stopped being maintained but it offers a challenge to thrill seekers looking to follow it along the narrow gorge in El Chorro, in Malaga Spain. It was originally built in 1905 and is approximately 100 meters above the river. Today, because of the popularity of this as a tourist attraction, it is slowly being repaired but with the objective of leaving much of the original features so as to retain it's history.
