Karst Mountains in Yangshuo is the perfect place for doing Via Ferrata, which offers climbing and zip-lining possibilities for those who have zero climbing skills.
The essence of a modern via ferrata is a steel cable which runs along the route and is periodically (every 1 to 10 metres (3.3 to 32.8 ft) fixed to the rock. Using a via ferrata kit, climbers can secure themselves to the cable. The cable can also be used as an aid to climbing, and additional climbing aids, such as iron rungs (stemples), pegs, carved steps, and even ladders and zip lines are often provided.

It's exciting and challenging.
"Rock climbing is no longer the preserve of young people, it is the Earth's love letter to the brave. "
It's a very worthwhile activity.
It takes some guts.
The price paid is worth 368 per capita consumption.
With professional coaching, there is no need to worry about safety, and the coach patiently explains climbing skills throughout. The scenery at the top is beautiful and a challenging activity.
