This is the spot where the tiger leapt across the gorge, thus giving it its name! Another legendary tale from China.

View of Tiger Leaping Gorge after completing the 28 bends of hell with a full pack on my back. Needless to say it was worth all the effort to be greeted by such breathtaking views.

One of the wild monkeys I met along my walk to the top of Emeishan. They were pleasant enough but I was glad to have my walking stick just in case! They will ransack your bag if they think there is food in it!
After 10 hours of walking uphill with only a few tea breaks (hey, I'm English!) I made it to the top of Emeishan and was greeted by this amazing statue of Buddha on Elephants. I reached the summit just before sunset but due to cloud cover I was not to see the beautiful sunset I had hoped for. I am told there is only a 1 in 3 chance of having an unobscured view. The climb was well worth the effort despite the poor visability.
One of the mountainside views during the 10 hour trek up holy Mount Emei. It was pretty misty up there due to the altitude and the view from the top (3099m) was obscured by cloud cover.
This was the breathtaking view of the West Peak from the North Peak. Three sides of this peak were sheer drops like this and it was amazing to be stood up there looking down from such a great height.
This friendly group of Chinese students invited me to join them in climbing Huashan. They were a great bunch of people and made the experience a lot of fun.
