Well the teahouse itself isn’t dangerous at all, but as in life, it’s about the journey, and not about the destination. Do you think you have what it takes to get to this amazingly dangerous place? Well, the first step is not always the hardest, and this time it’s the easiest – you just take the tram up to the mountain. After that, it all goes crazy…

Hold on tight, and remember, never look down; and if you’re feeling dizzy, just remember that a good tea place is worth risking your life. Several times.

Oh, and in case there’s an earthquake… oh well, just pray.

Keep an eye out, especially when meeting somebody coming from the opposite direction, because believe it or not, there’s quite a lot of traffic up there.

Yeah, that’s it, just walk on that tiny slippery portion of the rock and you’ll be just fine.

If you’ve made it this far, the odds are you’ll be just fine from now on.

Yep, and there you have it – the teahouse you’ve risked your life for. Enjoy your tea ! Your brought the tea, didn’t you ?
