Amazing trip to Huangshan.
This mid autumn wkend I went on a trip to huangshan with 3 of my hsemates, Kee quan, Jun wen and Jason. The 4 of us joined another 2 hses of ppl at zhong Tan road. They were rather interesting ppl haha. Namely Jasmin, Charlene, Li Ping, Shi yin, Xiang Wei and Alan. 6+4 =10. So the 10 of us met for the 1st time on the bus and tada a grp of students on tour.
The freaking bus ride was rather long but no nearly as long as the train ride. Bus Ride(6.5 hrs with stopover at Jiaxing and Dunno where), Train Ride (12 hrs of hard seat) omg this train ride is really no joke. We reached the Fei Cui Gu- which was our place of stay at abt 12 plus. Erm a bit ulu cos its a scenic place. But overall still ok la. The tour guide advised us of gg for the water rafting. But we decided against gg eh cos me and kee quan went b4 and I guess most of the ppl din bring anything to change. Another factor I think it will b out of our budget also.
But another damn sian thing is that we ate a set meal and paid approx 18/person. I seriously think its over priced. Freak.
Anyway back to the story so in the end we decided to go huangdi yuan and also the jiu long pu bu. It was 2 of the scenic place ard in huangshan. I am glad we went cos its really v nice. haha. And we drank water from the streams it tasted amazing. Damn fresh and sweet. haha.
We went back and had dinner again. This time we tried the 20 bucks/person 1. omg taste even worse than the morning 1. =p paid more and tasted worse so sad.
And we toked over dinner 1 serious prob – whether we wanna stay over on the mountain cos the tour guide kept dissuading us from staying on the mountain saying its v dirty and conditions r v bad. but there were abt 5 of us that insisted on gg up cos we wanna try our luck to see if we can view sunrise. Finally, we came to a compromise that 5 of us will stay on top and 5 of them will come back down to stay at the hotel. The 2 grps will set off at different timings. The grp that will return the same day will set off earlier cos they need to return b4 the sun sets cos its rather treacherous to walk on the mountain in darkness. They had to wake up at 5.30 while we can wake up at abt 6.45.
So the next day we woke up to set of for the trip. 4 guys and 1 girl in our team. Jasmine, kee quan, Xiangwei and jun wen. The other grp wasn't ard anymore when we set off. As we had to stay up in the mountains that nite. we took most of our rations on our back. We set off feeling excited about climbing Huangshan. Haha pure happiness. We bought our tix and started the tough and ardous climb up this ancient peak.
Omg the climbing was tough so many flight of stairs I think I almost died. =p We took abt 3 hrs to reach the meeting pt. Could be longer cos we love photo taking so much. Most of the pictures are with my frenz so can't see much as of now =p. So we reached the meeting point supposedly the last grp. =p Can imagine how slow we were but it wasn't fair as some of the people actually took a cable car up there. Anyway, we eventually made our way up there and moved of from there almost immediately. We went to other area up in the 1600m above sea level peaks to get to other peaks. We went down to take some pictures of a valley. sianz almost din make it back it was so tiring. Then the place for a nite was at guang ming ding. It was 3 km from where we were(pai yun ting). We tot tat 3 km would b near. I mean 2.4 km is nt far away so 3 km is juz a bit more.
But I was wrong. I think the 3 km only accounts for the lateral distance and nt the total length travel, meaning u can travel up a flight of stairs for 1 km but if the horizontal distance is only 200m, u only count it as 200m. Crazy!
But we still made it to Guang Ming Ding. Drenched wet and feeling cold. Worse there was no 1 and we dunno where was the hotel. Our Tour Guide was missing! (probably we were too slow) Keep calling them but cnt get them argh. We asked ppl the instructions to the hotel and got there eventually. Still no sign of the tour guide =p Argh! Kepe calling multiple times….. Finally we gt thru to the female Tour guide. She told us she would be coming. and asked us to wait there for 10 mins. The interesting thing was that. I suddenly saw the male tour guide at the hotel counter??? We din see the female tour guide at all tat nite not even the next morn at breakfast. (she went tuang le)
Ok aniwae we gt a place to stay(thank gdness). the place wasn't too bad. At the guang ming ding there. So we can go out and see the Sun rise immediately no travelling in the middle of the nite at 3 am. Yeah. So we settled down ate our bowl noodles with luncheon meat. YES! we bought a can of luncheon meat at $25 rmb. Omg it tasted heavenly. haha along with the noodles. Think it was one of the best meals. Though simple yet fulfilling. We had Dai Dee and bridge as our after dinner activities until we kanna Kan by the uncles who were trying to sleep beside us. =p
So we tried to slp at abt 9 plus( so freaking early)
Fell Asleep

The tour guide took us to the another place for breakfast but we decided to move on. and we went ahead. haha. amazing journey. then down the yi xian tian. it was crazily steep. then we went to tian du feng on the way down din wanna climb up since we getting down already. but it was damn crazy =p we juz keep skipping our way down so as nt to miss the bus at 11. by the time we gt to the damn bus we were damn shag.
