..shui in china..

i've procrastinate long enough.

here's an update of what i've been doing for the past week.

Huangshan trip

Its a really beautiful place.

But tiring as well.
2 days 1 night up in the mountains

When we first saw the scenary up in the mountains, its breathtaking really.

But soon, all the climbing takes your attention away from the sceneries.

Your eyes are only focused on the steps in front of you, your mind is constantly telling you to push on, you're reaching the top.

Still, we took many many many really nice pics on the way!

Before we start climbing huangshan, we stayed in this really eerie looking youth hostel at the bottom of the mountain.
The bus turned into a construction site and immediately i was thinking "Oh no! This is NOT the place we are going to stay in".

It turned out that this youth hostel is new and only one block is fully renovated and we are the 2nd batch of students staying in!
The amazing thing of the accom is, it is dirt cheap. 25yuan per night! That equals to $5!
But it comes with a price -- no heater, no hot water!
For the whole night, khai and i were freezing to death and none of us slept well.

We took a cable car up to the mountains and we waited a few hours just to board the cable car.
While waiting, we played some lame games, but it was a good time for interacting with new friends!

From left, lionel, wensen, shine, khai, me being blocked by uncle chinguan haha and baisheng

Grace and Zurong, two new korean friends who played lame games with us!
Learnt some korean from them, mostly bad words (all thanks to lionel) haha..

Some nice scenary pics taken on huangshan

Its amazing how people in the past build such magnificent pieces of work.
The structure stacked up with stones is in the middle of a really high mountain that has no paths or roads that is linked to it.
It makes me wonder if people in the past really knew martial arts of some kind, maybe some 轻工 that helped them "fly" to the other side to build the structure.

One of the symbolic stone structures there.
This one is supposed to look like 猪八戒. what do you guys think?

Of course, there will never be lack of photos of the PEOPLE in the trip!

When you're on huangshan, you just feel like you want to perform martial arts. HATA!

A relaxing moment up on the mountain! A short break from the tiring flight of steps.

Ouch my head!

All things up in the mountain are at really costly prices.
A stay in a lousy 8 people room cost 180RMB
A normal cup noodles that cost 3RMB is priced 15RMB up there.
But before we start complaining about the ridiculous prices, think about how the poor workers carry all these things up.
And they are only earning 20RMB per trip that they take!

After we descended Huangshan, went to Tunxi old street for a little shopping.

Joyce’s and Paula’s Bdae party
