Huang Shan Expedition

Posted by Squareface | 21st April 2007

"Of all the notable mountains in China, Mount Huangshan, to be found in the south of Anhui province, is probably the most famous. Originally known as Mt. Yishan it was renamed Mt. Huangshan in 747 AD in recognition of the legendary Huang Di, who was the reputed ancestor of the Chinese people and who made magic pills for immortality here."

Even if you take the cable car up Huang Shan, be prepared to spend around 5 hours climbing up and down, admiring the beauty of the various peaks.

This cable car can apparently hold 101 persons.

Although the ascent might be tough on your legs, especially the knees when you have to descend on steep slope before ascending again, it will be worth it, as the view is really like a canvas.
