Greetings from China
I am still alive! Unfortunately certain places in China seem to block this site, so I have been unable to update as frequently as I would like to. So far we have seen:
The Forbidden City
The Great Wall
The Terracotta Army
Reed Flute Caves
And much, much more!
It really has been amazing, walking along the great wall …
25,000 Steps
I'm not sure why but I didn't sleep well last night. Too bad, this is going to be a big day. We are heading to Yellow Mountain, one of China's sacred peaks, with over 25,000 steps originally carved into the granite. We will be spending the night at the top of the mountain so we pack our backpacks for an overnight trip and leave the rest with the …
Paradise on Earth an Inspiration for Avatar
8th: Our taxi drivers picked us up on time from our hotel in Tunxi (8am) and drove us to Tangkou some 63km away. In Tangkou they first took us to a place where we could book and pay for our accommodation up on the mountainside. (Cheaper than booking up on the mountain) We chose to stay at the Xi Hai Hotel for 700CYN per room. A quick …

TravelPod Member ReviewsXihai Hotel Huangshan
Though I have stayed in many far sparser places up a mountain, none of them claimed a four star rating. This hotel is clean, usable and certainly not luxurious. The rooms are small, with standard showers and no baths, our windows did not shut correctly and the carpet was very thin. This is a perfectly fine room for my needs, however it was described on our itinerary as a four star superior hotel, and it is no where near meeting expectations.
If you want a standard, 2-3 star hotel to spend a night in then the Xihai hotel is fine, if you want a night of high comfort living, then look elsewhere (the same company owns a hotel a couple of meters away, which is in a completely different league).

If you bother to hike all the way up here from the cable car, pack an overnight bag and stay. This hotel is newly renovated and has everything you need, including free wifi. Don't pass this one up, it's spectacular.
