2 day tour of Lushan

My relatives found a tour group going to Lushan, a famous mountain about 3 hours east of Wuhan, and they sent ray and i there since there is pretty much nothing to do in my hometown.

it was so pretty there! well, i've seen better but for the short notice of the trip and the proximity to wuhan, it was a really nice trip. here's ray on the left doing some fancy kungfu move that doesn't actually exist. there was a lot of climbing & waterfalls.


this on below was one of the nicest sites we saw. it's called the Three-Tiered Waterfall -- see it? three tiers. aren't we chinese creative?


we basically had to climb from the very top of the waterfall to the bottom in order to see it. on the way up we climbed the steps: 1323! thats a shitload of stories, and i've pretty much got quads of steel now =D.

you can actually rent these little inflatable boats and row around in the pool at the bottom of the waterfall. i didn't want to because 1. you'd get drenched, and 2. your dinky little boat would probably flip over under the waterfall. good thinking on my part, huh?


here's a nicer view of lushan. these mountainous areas are best when you have a "yunhai", or "sea of clouds" kinda like this one.


there were monkeys there!! so cute. you aren't supposed to feed them on your own b/c apparently they can get kind of crazy and bite, but we did anyway.



























ummm random photos. nice rocks, bamboo forests, etc. haha i'm not sure what to say
