Introduction

Canglong Ridge is one of the famous dangerous mountain paths on Mount Huashan, located between Jiuku Tai Nan and Wuyun Peak. It is named after the black and hanging dragon-like appearance of the mountain range. The western side of the ridge faces the Qinge Ping deep valley, while the eastern side faces the Feiyu Ridge Canyon. The ridge is about a hundred meters long and less than three feet wide, with protruding mountains combining with the sides to create a unique terrain that makes visitors feel as if they are floating in the clouds. Therefore, the Tang dynasty literary giant Han Yu was extremely frightened when he visited and cried out for help, leaving behind the famous "Han Tuizhi Toushu Chu" landmark.
