Baishuitai Lime Terraces
On our way from Tiger Leaping Gorge to Zonghdian we passed this amazing natural feature in Baishuitai. The cool water was running down the soft limestone terraces and the surrounding countryside was beautiful.

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

Shower anyone?
Gorgeous waterfall on Tiger Leaping Gorge, Sichuan Province. Had to be pretty careful with a large drop on the other side!

Tiger Leaping Gorge
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.

These fishermen use cormorants to catch fish much like a hawker does to catch birds.

Yangshou countryside
Yangshou had amazing scenery with limestone peaks rising out of the ground some 100-150m. This picture was taken from the Dragon Bridge which I had cycled to one day.

Downpour in Shanghai!
I took this picture whilst sheltering from the torrential downpour that lasted about an hour. I was caught right underneath the storm and the thunder rolled through the streets like a dozen planes taking off at once! The photo doesn't quite capture the amount of rain coming down, I knew I should've bought an SLR!!

Moisture on Emeishan
The water on these leaves were not from rain but from the moisture in the air on Emeishan. It was incredibly humid and the path's were pretty slippy in places.

Emeishan Buddha
This huge golden buddha awaits to greet you at the top of Emeishan. I think I was too fatigued and feeling a little altitude sick to really appreciate it at the time but am now amazed when I recall the experience! Unless you're very fit I suggest you take the cable-cars, at least part of the way!

Emeishan Wild Monkey
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!

The Emei Conqueror!
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.

Walking Emeishan
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.

Leshan Buddha
The Leshan Buddha was carved out of the cliff and originally covered in gold and jewels. It is the largest buddha in the world and I spent a great day out in the company of some friends from Mix hostel, Chengdu.

Go on the Blades!!
Me, Andy and Kerri took in a Chengdu Blades game where we received a very warm welcome from the unofficial supporters group! We cheered on their team like locals and learnt the chants which I have now forget! Blades beat Beijing 3-1 and all 500 fans left the stadium happy!

View of West Peak from North Peak of Huashan
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.
