He inlaid stone piles on the cliffs and laid wooden boards. To pass through here, tourists must stick close to the cliff, hold the iron chain with their hands, step on the wooden planks, and move slowly forward sideways. The Kitesurfing: The cliff is more than ten feet high. You have to climb up the iron rope with your hands, step on the stone nest, and hang on to the wall to climb down. There are cliffs thousands of feet on both sides. You have to turn sideways in the middle of the climb, so it is called the Kitesurfing. It is the second most dangerous step on Mount Huashan. After passing the natural barrier and walking through the forest of strange rocks, you will arrive at the "Botai", also known as the Chess Pavilion. There is a chess game on the stone table in the pavilion. It is said that it was the endgame that Zhao Kuangyin lost at Mount Huashan, and it has not been solved for a thousand years. Canglong Ridge: It is one of the famous dangerous roads in Huashan, located at the foot of Wuyun Peak. It is named for its dark appearance and its terrain that resembles a hanging dragon. The terrain is like walking on a thin blade and the cliffs are thousands of feet high, which makes many tourists terrified. Jinsuo Pass: It is a stone arch gate like a city tower built at the entrance of Sanfeng. It is the throat of the pass leading to the East, West and South Peaks through Wuyun Peak.
