There is a restaurant in China that is literally located on the top of a cliff. Unlike most restaurants, or building of any sort, there are no roads, trails, or escalators to get to this remote spot. The only way there is a traitorous and highly dangerous path made up of holes blown into the rock and chains to hold onto. You have to scale a steep mountain-side in order to eat here. Extreme. From a design standpoint, I really like the ancients Chinese aesthetic they modeled the structure of the restaurant around. You see this kind of building on the tops of these mountains in a lot of ancient Chinese landscape paintings. This is people's chance to actually live in one of these paintings. I feel like the perilous climb to the venue is what adds most of its appeal. It's an accomplishment that people can brag about for years to come. Plus, you don't tend to value what comes easy. I bet those noodles are to die for.
