Тропа Смерти — это необычная и экстремальная часть маршрута на горе Хуашань, в провинции Шэньси в Китае. Узкая дорожка всего из трех деревянных досок прибита к отвесной скале, а конечная точка маршрута находится на высоте 2155 метров.
По красивой легенде, дорожку построили еще 700 лет назад буддийские монахи.
Пускают туда, конечно же, только со страховочным тросом — поэтому слухи о смертях туристов на ней остаются городскими легендами. Зато, как говорят побывавшие над пропастью, с Тропы Смерти пачками летят... смартфоны, на которые туристы хотят себя запечатлеть.

"Russians are really disconnected from the reality of what happening to their country," Andrey said. "So Telegram has become essential for understanding what's going on to the Russian-speaking world." He said that since his platform does not have the capacity to check all channels, it may restrict some in Russia and Ukraine "for the duration of the conflict," but then reversed course hours later after many users complained that Telegram was an important source of information. Russians and Ukrainians are both prolific users of Telegram. They rely on the app for channels that act as newsfeeds, group chats (both public and private), and one-to-one communication. Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Telegram has remained an important lifeline for both Russians and Ukrainians, as a way of staying aware of the latest news and keeping in touch with loved ones. On February 27th, Durov posted that Channels were becoming a source of unverified information and that the company lacks the ability to check on their veracity. He urged users to be mistrustful of the things shared on Channels, and initially threatened to block the feature in the countries involved for the length of the war, saying that he didn’t want Telegram to be used to aggravate conflict or incite ethnic hatred. He did, however, walk back this plan when it became clear that they had also become a vital communications tool for Ukrainian officials and citizens to help coordinate their resistance and evacuations. Pavel Durov, a billionaire who embraces an all-black wardrobe and is often compared to the character Neo from "the Matrix," funds Telegram through his personal wealth and debt financing. And despite being one of the world's most popular tech companies, Telegram reportedly has only about 30 employees who defer to Durov for most major decisions about the platform.
