Was Mount Huangshan worth the climb?

We checked into the Pai Yun Lou Hotel which was clean and has working heater and working hot water supply system. But according to Simon, we’ve only seen the east side of the mountain. The west side is far more beautiful, we must see with our own eyes the breathtaking Walking Fairyland Bridge.

Despite the throbbing pain in our legs, off we went again after lunch. We took a scenic route that passes the many peaks on the west side. We spent so much time taking in the views, we forgot to keep track of time. The sky darkened when we still had about 3km to go. We had to abandon our journey and turn back.

Since we didn’t make it to the Walking Fairyland Bridge, was it still worth the climb?

The Longest Walk of My Life!

After visiting the Tunxi Ancient Street in Huangshan town, we slept early at our cosy Huangshan hostel so that we will be well rested to climb Mount Huangshan the next day.

The hostel arranged for a van to drop us off near the foot of the mountain. We transferred to two cabs which brought us higher up.The taxis dropped us here, we walked a little to get to the cable car station. It was really easy.
