Miu Miu's Mutterings: Recounting Part 4

Day 5

Woke up the next morning and went out to watch the sun rise. Again we were disappointed. At breakfast there was a coup. According to plan we were to descend the mountain by using the West trail and exit from the the West Gate. This way we get to see almost all the famous sights in Huangshan. Unfortunately the majority of the members said they had enough of hiking especially after yesterday epic endeavor. This time there was very little resistance from the minority. After checking out from the hotel we headed for the Bai Er Ling (White Goose Mountain) cable car station. Since we have now some extra time we dawdled along the way with lots of photo taking.


Packing up. Time to go down the mountain. Although the cabin is small but it is totally adequate. Actually it is better than the rooms in the main building.

Everyone was in high spirit because we do not need to walk down the mountain. So we had extra time for posing for pictures. There were so many gorgeous autumn colors in Huangshan. L-R : Me, Edward and Mok.

The ride down was very exhilarating. We got a little bubble car of our own so everyone had fantastic view as we sailed over rocks and tree tops. But the ride was a tad too fast and before you know it we have reached the base station.


How clever no argument about who needs to pay fare.

Over hills and over dales. In this case it is more like over mountains and over valleys. Very exhilarating ride.

At the base station there is a hall with free internet. How cool is that!

On the way back the van driver suggested we visit a tea house. Anyway someone in the party wanted to check out Huangshan famous Mao Feng tea.

The Mao Feng tea leaves are huge. The tea being brewed to entice us to purchase.

It was good to get back to our hotel and Tunxi / Huangshang city. After getting our rooms and stowing our back, we went out exploring the city. First thing first - lunch!
