China is famous for its unique staircases, which pass in the most difficult and hard-to-reach mountainous areas. One of the most unusual and terrible stairs is to be found in Hunan, in the vicinity of the city of Lingzhou. A few years ago in a picturesque mountainous area was installed a huge spiral staircase. The construction got the romantic name "Stairway to Heaven".
Originally, it was erected with the sole purpose of attracting tourists to the picturesque region and allowing them to fully appreciate the beauty and harmony of the local landscapes. There is a staircase at the slope of Tiahan Mountain, its height is 91.5 meters. Passing the whole spiral staircase, tourists find themselves on an excellent viewing platform, from which one can not only admire the surroundings, but also make excellent memorable pictures.
Climbing the stairs promises to be an unforgettable event. It is swinging from the constantly blowing winds in the mountains and is creaking underfoot. The sensations are added by birds flying in close proximity. Absolutely everyone is allowed to an unusual attraction in the mountain area of Lingzhou. But not all of them are allowed to climb onto the stairs. The ascent is only allowed to people under 60 years. Before the ascent, they should sign a special paper that confirms that they have no health problems. At the disposal of other tourists is an elevator, which takes them to the viewing platform in just a few seconds.
