brief posting on china, zhangjiajie!

Yupp. Let me introduce you to zhangjiajie, a place with mountains mountains and only mountains lol! This is the place where the Hallelujah mountains(avatar) got inspired from. Its really nice and awesome heh! Oh remind me to bring souvenirs for you all :P

Mountains :D











Oh and I went on a trip to Tian Men Shan. The "99 curves" the bus takes up the mountain is supposed to be scary, as it overlooks the cliffs lol but it was nothing heh. Up the mountains, theres the big hole, called tianmen dong. IT can be reached via the "Stairway to heavens", consisting of 999 steps. There are many portion of the steps which are steep heh. Was dying before I even reached the midpoint lol. Stairway to heaven indeed! lol. My legs were like jelly(I NEED TO EXERCISE!!!). One false step will send me barrelling to the ground at terminal velocity lol! The stairs is a straight flight of steps yep. Pretty scary to look back(I have height phobia =X)

Pictures!

Tian Men dong and teh entrance of the "Stairway to heaven" Nice sun beam :D





First few steps up the 999 flight of stairs :P




Looking aback at the start! Notice the red altar like drum? It will become very small as I progress up the stairs!



Going higher:D




Even Higher! Oh, notice the curving paths on the right? Thats part of the 99 curves i was talking about :P



1/4 more to go! Bright sun beam in your face!



One of my many breaks! Resting on the gentler portion of the stairs! Mind you, looks can be deceiving. The picutres may show it to be a slope, but its all steps!




Almost at the top!



Even closer to the top! Notice the red drum?




The hole up close :D



Going down again





Lazy to post more pictures, shall be posting on facebook soon :P

Ending off with a song! Pretty nice
