Fucheng Hotel Taishan

Wutaishan was one of our greatest disasters to date.Hee and there's been a few. I booked a hostel which gave directions to Wutaishan bus station but was in fact in Nanning- a whole other provence. Oops.<br>Pretty place, once we'd finally checked into somewhere in our price range. It was the coldest place I've ever been. The water in the river had frozen solid! We had pot noodles in bed and tried some rice wine, (evil smelling stuff) and quickly got on a bus out of there! <br>Love Lucy xxx<br>

... koukali na nas (deti se svorne schovali za dospele, zejmena Jenda je desil). Nikdo zde pochopitelne neumel ani slovo anglicky, nicmene nam skvele poradili kudy jit na nami vybrani vrchol.<br><br><br><br>Stoupani bylo krute.... ale vystoupali jsme. Nejprve jsme sli po kozi stezce, ale casem jsem se dostali na ovci/kravi cestu a ta byla plna produktu techto zviratek a tudiz jsme museli naslapovat nanejvys opatrne. Kdyz jsme se blizili vrcholu (2800 ...

... nakonec nas nikdo neobtezoval a dockali jsme se v klidu a miru dalsiho slunneho rana.<br><br><br>Story 4: duchovni procitnuti ve Wutaishan<br>Druhy den jsme navstivili mnoho krasnych klasteru ve Wutaishan- napr.

... sur des routes un peu cahoteuses qui les rendent malades. Pour moi et Josee, ca a l'air d'aller.<br><br>A Wutai Shan, il y a environ 50 temples bouddhistes actifs, et des cetaines de moines bouddistes partout, meme dans le cafe internet! Ce matin, a la visite de notre premier temple, sans savoir, on s'est rendu compte qu'on arrivait en plein au moment ou ils commencaient leur messe. Ils se sont tous mis alignes partout dans le temples, ils chantaient des trucs qui ressemblent un peu a ...

Woke up in a hotel with no electricity (see we do slum it sometimes!) and headed to the... <br>JUST WATCHED SOMEONE SPIT DOWN THE SIDE OF A CHAIR IN THE INTERNET SHOP - GROSS<br><br>Next we had a 3 hour coach journey and met some more nice locals, we were on our way to one of the most holly spots in China with more than 52 temples spread across the Wu Tai Shaun mountain range - it was time to look at ...

Hello everybody Me and have Pete have just spent the past few days hanging out around the city of Tai'an and the holy mountain of Taishan. We arrived in Tai'an on the 14th via high speed train (these Chinese trains are awesome compared to British ones!), where we spent most of the day finding our hotel, booking train tickets and chilling in our hotel room watching the paralympics. On the 15th, we decided to wonder around the city of Tai'an. We started by walking through ...

... clean air was most welcome. Especially given the state of the air around the Chinese cities. Heading away from the town, I found what looked like a walking path and set off with no real destination in mind. As it turned out, it wasn't so much a walking path as animal tracks that took me up a mountain. That sorted the question of where I was going, then. Upwards. I walked for several hours, seeing a new peak within reach every time I got to what I had ...

We've been in China a week now and have had to re-evaluate what we are going to be able to see. We completely under-estimated the size of the country and have had to write off alot of locations (Tibet included unfortunately). But back to Pingyao. We arrived at 5am to Yamen Hostel. Its a great hostel with antique Chinese furniture a couple of hundred years old. Really nice place to stay ...

Ok. First things first. Has anyone else noticed that portion on the front page of my travelblog that says "accepting donations"? Well, at present, it says "No". That's not true. And once I work out how to change it, it will say "yes". You see, today I climbed TaiShan, the most culturally significant mountain China. A reasonable straightforward climb for a mountain it must be said ...

... pillars and the interior is literally half-house, half-cave. The complex is located at the foot of Mt. Hengshan, which is one of the five "Sacred Mountains" in China...an old Emperor first visited the mountain circa 2372 BC. Anyway we arrive and its quite a site to see this old monastery built into the side of the cliff like some magnet stuck on your refrigerator! From far off you cant really see the pillars so it really does look like it was just ...
