These are the Deadliest Tourist Attractions on Earth

Hua Shan Plank Path

The Hua Shan Plank Path has been getting some serious recognition in the past few years because of social media. This is a regularly touristed trail that runs through the mountains of China, and it became super popular because of its half-mile long ledge walk that people love to post on Instagram. This path is actually perfectly safe when traversed properly, but as western tourists head out there to get the best pic for the gram, they forget that this is actually a serious hike, and some people get overcome with nerves and bail.
