The via ferrata of the great cliff of Qixing Mountain progresses in a karst environment announced at around 1,400 metres above sea level, with more than 1,000 metres of vertical relief in certain sections. Its emblematic element is a 168-metre metal ladder erected in the air and integrated into the equipped route. The global distribution of videos served as a radar, but the editorial strength comes from the measurable geometry and scale of the course, not its social popularity.
