made it to huangshan and hiked all day yesterday, went up to the highest peak and down to the bottom of the western canyon and back up again. pretty good day of hiking, our calves are dead. there are possible more stairs in china then there are people...really!
we wound up having quite fun little group of westerners talking in front of the hostel, a good night to end a good day, minus the really bad chinese karoke in the background
we got up at around 4am this morning to trek to the east side of the mtn to hopefully catch the sunrise, even by then it was packed. though it was too hazy to even get a little golden light. we went back to the hostel and packed up
Mike and I swung by beginning to believe peak on our way down the mtn to catch a glimpse of the wondering misty morning, though about 5 minutes later it began to rain and we had to abandon our hopes of hiking down the mtn and we just took the cable car.
we are not hanging out in a youth hostel in tunxi waiting for our 9:45 train departure, i seemed to have overestimated how much time we would need today. so i think we will cruise over to the old street and see if we can kill some time there. woo go spencer and his planning skillz
shanghai tomorrow!! so stoked. im going to try and find out how to get to the skatepark there. apparently its the largest in china, hopefully i can get to it or lugging my skateboard around the mountain will have been a waste.
keep posted for more stories
