China 2009

By Al Wong

This is my experience in Beijing, China in the Summer of 2009. If you came to this webpage first, it's better if you start from the beginning of the story.

[Cable Car]

At Huangshan.

Taking the cable car up the mountain. When I first received the tour itinerary, visiting Huangshan sounded so easy. You take the cable car up the mountain, saving you a several hour climb, and then walk to your hotel. Easy right?

Well, it wasn't so easy. What the tour operator failed to mention, after you get off the cable car, you have a good 30 minute hike to get to your hotel. And it isn't an easy hike either. It was a rather grueling hike just to get to the hotel! I don't think anyone in my tour group knew about this. I certainly didn't know.
