A pleasant mountain hike

UPDATED: Added the second half of the hike. (Blogspot wouldn't take the latter half at first.)

All I know about this is that it's somewhere in China, and that the pictures could be found on Chinese websites -- if one knew Chinese well enough to navigate said sites. Since I don't, I can't link to the original sites. My apologies to those whose copyrights I am therefore reluctantly violating.

Ready for a pleasant hike in the mountains? Let's first ride the skyway up to the head of the trail.


Now we take our first steps on the trail itself.


Remember, safety first: always hang onto the handrail.


You can always snicker at the people ahead of you, if you wish.


But it's a really bad idea to try to cut across the switchbacks. That leads to erosion, don't you see.


Eventually we get to the stairs. What do you mean you don't see any stairs? There they are on the left, cut into the rock face.


Well, okay, maybe it's more a ladder than a staircase.


This is the easy part.


And here we are at last.


Now you just have to go back down...
