万仙山 the mountain of 10,000 immortals

2 weekends-ago I went on a trip with the group of Australian teachers that are here (Tim is one of them but the other 16 are all in their late 50's or early 60's) we ventured up to 万仙山 (Wan Xian Shan). This name is something close to the mountain of 10,000 immortals. Unfortunately, the weather was a bit overcast and we were unable to fully take in the beauty of our surroundings... when the clouds cleared for a moment, the view was indeed breathtaking! Here are a few pictures... 

the river running thought the middle of the park

A small peek of the peaks that were all around us... 

we knew that rock structures like this were all around us the whole day, but  due to the  heavy concentration of dew, we were unable to obtain decent visibility of more than about 100 yards... tragic 

the path winding around the cliff... pretty luxurious conditions for a hiking trail in a poor province

Toby, Our German friend. In his bag is a GOOD camera. As I am writing this blog, I have been texting him to pester him about getting some of those pictures.... hopefully there will be some good pictures forthcoming (he assures me that he can manipulate them to make them more clear...

the way down. Yes, it is as steep as it looks! and yes, it was wet!
