The world is filled with incredible places that never fail to captivate the hearts of those who always seek adventure. However, some of these places can be dangerous that only a few would dare visit them. One of these treacherous places is Mount Huashan located in China.

On the hillside of the mountain there is a perilous path that should take the individual all the way to the top. Only the brave would dare trail this path, but at the end of the journey, something surprising and rewarding awaits.

The trails and stairs leading to the top of the mountain were created by nuns, pilgrims and monks, as the place is considered holy.

In some areas of the mountain, locals have also carved their own trails.

It looks like New York’s The High Line and Paris’ very own Promenade Plantee will face some tough competition from Singapore. The country is set to embark on one of its most ambitious projects just yet, the construction of an elevated park that will span the entire country, covering a span of about 15 miles in entirety. Coincidentally, the Promenade Plantee is the world’s first elevated park, while Singapore is the first in the region of Southeast Asia.

Singapore will be converting the British-colonial railway line it formally shut down back in 2011. The above the ground park will feature running paths for the health-conscious, biking paths, eight activity nodes where people can stop to, let’s say, take a yoga class or go rock climbing. There will also be an organic vegetable farm somewhere along the 15-mile park that will cross Singapore.

We've done a story on the world's best airports sometime early this month and we think that it's just but fair that we also write one on the world's worst airports. After all, you would want to be prepared to go through them the next time you travel. Of course who could better tell us which of the airports in the world are not exactly that awesome but the people who work for the airlines, our pilots and flight attendants?

Now, mind you, our pilots and flight attendants make use of the airport facilities every single day so they should know what they're talking about, yeah? We checked out what they had to say about the most horrible airports on Reddit, and this is what we got:
