Yunsong Garden Hotel Huangshan

For ages, people can not understand how this huge stone ends up at the tip of the peak and believe the stone has some kind of magic power - fertility. People will bride the stone by stocking coins in a crack and pat the stone. Poor park ranger has to keep cleaning the coins but not taking the coins.

... it was time to stop picking food randomly in China and just eating it. I did pass out after a while and slept for the last few hours of the train ride. I have been told that one of us while I was asleep, took a bag of chips, tried to pour it down his month, spilled all over himself, and then just passed out covered in chips.

The train ride finally ended early morning and we stumbled down the streets. We were trying to find a place ...

... together for a long time until they are well combined. Since one of the main ingredients in good ink sticks is animal glue, it can rot, so an ingredient is added to keep it from rotting.

Hey Hey and a Big G'Day toya,

After yesterdays climb full of shambles and storms I slept until mid day.

I then headed a cross the train station car park to find some Bouza for breakfast but instead and surprise to me I actually found Joutza (when I write these two words they are incorrectly spelt but it’s how ...

... fact that you are actually on a platform as wide small town footpath gives you the confidence to continue but each time I got a look at where I had been from the next level down and saw that it was all resting on thick metal poles made me think of how in the world they got them there in the first place and how many workers died making this crazy cliff path available to the innocent public and more than once I felt ...

... which was a 50 kuai taxi ride away. However, Tunxi the town we were in was closest to the entrance for climbing the mountain. So we cancelled our reservations and choose to stay in this hostel here. The people in the hostel were amazing. They tried really hard to make us feel at home, find us things to do and to make sure we were taken care of. We settled into our rooms and decided to go to the Monkey park!! The people at the hostel told us they ...
