Скачать или смотреть The Superhuman Porters: Carrying Life Up 7,000 Steps

Discover the incredible strength and endurance of the "mountain porters" of Mount Tai (泰山), one of China's most sacred mountains. For centuries, these remarkable individuals have been the lifeline to the summit, carrying everything from water and food to construction materials on their backs.

This short video gives you a glimpse into their daily journey up the formidable "Stairway to Heaven"—a path consisting of approximately 7,000 stone steps. While tourists can take a cable car, the porters undertake the grueling 4-6 hour ascent on foot, bearing immense loads to supply the temples and shops at the top.

Witness a tradition that has withstood the test of time and remains an integral, awe-inspiring part of life on Mount Tai.
