Summary
An adventure up a pathless hill through forest and up rocks to a rocky summit and down the other side, dealing with angry dogs and getting lost along the way.
- Best bit – getting out of the smog of the city
- Worst bit – the worry of having to go down over all the obstacles that had been faced on the way up
- Funniest bit – 3-ft high totally unpractical steps to walk down
- Word of warning – you can only do this walk if you want to have an adventure, it’s very unpredictable
- Scary bits – Narrow slippery rocks to walk over
- I didn’t expect – quiet Chinese people to suddenly become crazy adventurers, or anyone to manage to do this kind of climb in high heels and summer skirts
