Huang Shan 黄山

Yellow Mountain.


There's much to write about from our recent Chinese New Year trip to Huang Shan and little time (or internet bandwidth as the case may be). But not being one to keep you in suspense too long for the juicy bits, check all the photos here.

More to follow ...

Beautiful photos as usual! I want to know more about the locks and the throngs of people in the red and yellow hats. Looking forward to hearing more! Miss you guys!!

Young Chinese couples like to buy those locks and lock them any place that has (had?) a nice view to enhance the natural beauty of the scenery. Actually it's to symbolize the bond of their everlasting love. Or something like that. After securing the lock, they chuck the key off the edge of the cliff where some poor Panda below probably eats it and dies from lead poisoning. I'll write about the hats in the much anticipated and highly sarcastic "Top 10 ways to know you're at a "famous" Chinese attraction".
