OK, that last post was mostly a setup for this one. After a day of climbing we reached the top of a peak and discovered this guy:

He was in the middle of some cross-country bike trip and decided that he should climb Huangshan on the way, and was nervous that someone would steal his bike while he was climbing. So, he carried his bike with him on his climb.

Finally unpacking, I dug out my real camera and discovered that I did, in fact, carry it around for one day of the trip. So here’s a big dump of landscape photos I took while hiking around Huangshan (which is, confusingly, a different place from Huashan.)

I’m on a tour bus en route to the great wall, fighting a virus and feeling listless.  The bus just made an unexpected stop at a ‘jade factory’ which is a giant featureless building designed to extract cash from tour busses.  Each of us wore a numbered badge so that the vendors would know which tourguide to kick money back to.

There was also this strange burial shroud.  I’d much rather be buried in flannel pajamas.
