We got up early this morning and stood in many queues. Two shuttle busses, one security line and one glorious cable car ride got us up the mountain. Everything is well-developed, paved, and incredibly crowded.
Zhihe was in his standard frenetic state, tugging us from place to place and pointing out features faster than I could take them in. The views were worth the exhausting trip, though. Many more photos to follow in future posts.
Now I’m falling asleep in the comfortable hotel atop the mountain. Knowing that in the morning the sheets will be hand-carried down the slope to be washed makes me extra tired.
