... the top of the mountain. The tent would allow us to see the sunrise which we had been told was a must. We rode the gondola and for the first time I got a sense of how big the mountain really was. It was one the most beautiful mountains I have ever seen (check the pictures). Most of the hiking took place oh thin man-made ledges on the side of the mountain with nothing but a cliff drop below you. This was difficult at times for me seeing as ...

... the stone steps to the hotels and the one guy I asked said he made $7.50/load and took 2 loads/day. We thought that was insane since we were huffing and puffing carrying day packs. Their calves were like Popeye’s calves. They put in new cable cars to get to the top (since 1993 when I was here last I mean.) So we guessed that the old one was used to send supplies up/down, but they still have to use porters to carry the stuff from the cable car ...

The trip was really amazing. Huangshan is the best mountain i have ever visited, i can say its my favorite place to visit in China. The memories of this trip is definitely unforgettable.

Here Anne and I split as she wanted to take it easy in Shanghai for her last days in China and I wanted to trek on the Yellow Mountains.

There are no historical records about the grottoes but through textual research on a five-centimeter-long stalactite found in the ...

Hey Hey and a Big G'Day toya,

Tonight finds me sitting in the Tunxi Youth Hostel (free wi-fi Yeah!) and I’ve just had the most wonderful club sandwich after which followed a vegetable salad which was by far big enough for three people. I can’t say I’ve had cauliflower and broccoli in a salad before and I also can’t say the Italian dressing went down ...

... to talk to me so I buried my head in my book and read my way into the new day.

And then into the new morning

There was a young guy who obviously wanted to talk to me but didn’t know how to start a conversation and around three in the morning we finally began talking and continued well into the next morning. His name is Chen Guan Yue and ...

... and the rest of the mountains. I was thinking to myself "we can't cross this, whats the path going to do? are we on the right path? It should only be a couple miles according to this map". Well, the trail was only a couple miles, as the crow flies. However, as the tourist hikes it was thousands of steps down then thousands up the other side.
