A travellog to Huangshan

I have been to Huangshan last year and wrote a travel log, which I pasted in my personal homepage then. And now I intend to keep the homepage more concise, so I decide to move it here. I read it again, and recalled my travel in Huangshan. I wish someday I will visit again. Three day is too short to understand and appreciate Huangshan.

I will have a visit to Huangshan Mountain tommorrow with my classmates, I am very excited

Now, I come back from Huangshan,just enjoy some of my photos--I will tell my experience in Huangshan another day.

During my travel to Huangshan, we visited Feicui Valley ( Valentine's Valley) in the afternoon on the first day. I was very excited to see the stone with Liu Yuxi's peom carved on it, because Liu is one of the poems that I like in Tang Dynasty.

This photo is taken in Feicui Gu . The boy in red is my classmates. And have you note the round stone behind us? That is the Dan in Chinese. In traditional Chinese culture, Dan is a pill that has magic medical power. It is claimed to be able to make people live for ever.

Feicu Gu is famous for its beautiful brooks, polymorphic stones and vast sea of bamboos( see what is behind me). Maybe you know about a Oscar-winning movie named Crouching Tiger Hiden Dragon, its scenery just behind me.

Brige of Valentines. It is said that when one passes the bridge of valentines, he should not look backward. Otherwise, he will meet lots of trouble when pursying his girl.

At last we arrived at the landmark of Feiccui Gu, the big character LOVE is five meters in width and six meters in height, with Sushi's handwritting as a model.

On the second day, we started off for Huangshan early in the morning. Our journey will include Baieling, Shixinfeng, Guangming Ding and Yikesong.

It is rather challenging to climb to the peak, so when we saw the peak of Baieling, we were all very excited and stop to take photos. We believed that we could get Baieling soon, however, it proved more tiring to cover the last distance especially after you had been climbing for nearly two hours.

At last, we arrived at Baieling, higher than 1700m above the sea level, which is just behind me in the above picture. It said that in winter there accumulates a layer of snow so that it looks like a goose ( Bai e ). Standing at the top of Baieling, I looked around...

After a rest and a simple lunch at Baieling, we visted Shixinfeng very quickly because the guide complain tour time was limited. However, I can bet the scenery at Shixinfeng is the most attractive. See the following pictures, pay attention the trees.

I took this photo at Beihai Hotel near to Baierling, one of the mountain of Huangshan. The background is a large picture of Deng Xiaoping, who climbed Huangshan mountain on foot in his seventies, really a powerful guy. I was mincing his gesture, feeling that I am also a great man.

On the way to Yingke Song. The background is Old Man Jiang Fishing.

These two picture were taken at Guangming Ding. We were lucky to encounter a snow there and forgot to take many pictures,--I recorded the scencery in my head.

The big stone behind me is Aoyu Stone, Ao means turtle and Yu means fish.

I also saw the most famous Yike Song, however the pictuer is not available at present for my friends havn's send them to me yet.
