Homeless Pelican takes us on a heart-stopping adventure to Gaoqi Ling (Gaoyi Ridge) in Hunan, China—a mountain that looks like a blade. The video opens with him already on the edge, literally: one wrong step and it's a 40-story drop. He's joined by his friend Mike Ponte, and together they navigate the narrow sandstone ridge where erosion over millions of years created knife-edge paths. The goal? To be the first person to skateboard the sketchiest part of the mountain. <br><br>From the start, the fear is palpable. The ridge is barely a meter wide in some sections, with sheer drops on both sides. Homeless Pelican's legs shake, and he admits it's the scariest walk of his life. He uses a Hover Air X1 Pro Max drone to capture cinematic shots hands-free, even filming the moment local aunties laugh at him for being scared. The drone's AI tracking and 8K camera make the impossible angles possible. <br><br>The hike passes through a tourist zone, but they enter from a non-tourist side, avoiding fences. They encounter playful local women, an Instagram boyfriend with 10 ladies, and a sign warning of lightning strikes and falling off cliffs. At the official gate, they pay 98 yuan per person to enter the park. Inside, the extreme attractions begin: a glass bridge with holes, a crazy swing, a Ferrata climbing route, and even a paragliding spot. Homeless Pelican nearly has a heart attack on the glass bridge, which shakes as he crosses. He's rushed by staff and has to keep moving despite his terror. <br><br>Throughout the journey, he sprinkles in cultural insights: the mountain paths are considered sacred, and walking them is believed to bring dreams to life. He also notes the trust system in China—paying for a wish ribbon by scanning a code with no one watching. The video highlights the contrast between raw nature and engineered accessibility: staircases, walkways, and even a train line cut into the mountain. Elderly Chinese hikers breeze past him, showing incredible fitness. <br><br>After reaching the top, he writes a wish for 1 million subscribers and skateboards down the crowded path, dodging tourists. The final moments are pure exhaustion and exhilaration. He calls it one of the best and scariest places in China, a total adrenaline rush. The video ends with a shout-out to his friend Mike Ponte and a plea for likes and subscriptions.

What about Americans?
There are 100,000 Americans living in China semi legally.
Why don't you like me anymore?
Wearing flip flops? This is crazy!
What kind of attractions they have here?
It's really scary. I'm really scared right now.
