Summary
A pleasant walk up a strange-looking hill with incredible views all the way up.
- Best bit – the incredible views of limestone scenery
- Worst bit - nothing
- Funniest bit – a little old Chinese lady who was trying to sell us water suddenly bursting into fluent French for 10 seconds and then suddenly stopping, able to say no more.
- Word of warning – don’t pay more than 2 yuan for a bottle of water
- Scary bits – sitting on the summit with very steep drops to the side, knowing that there’s a big hole underneath that might collapse
- I didn’t expect the weather to be so nice
