This mighty Taoist sacred mountain
located near Xi an in the Shaanxi province in the middle of China.
Reserved only for courageous hermits who secluded themselves in the
inaccessibility of the mountains is now widely
 available to general
public thanks to the creation by the Chinese government of several
trails. Still is a challenge for any normal person that dares to
climb it. Although a path leads to most of the sights and all 5
peaks its just amazingly dangerous and steep, making a big deal to
try to climb the mountain for just pleasure. Deaths still occur and
its even more dangerous when it rains. many of its more dangerous
parts are now closed to the public and might be seen only my photos
The mountain can be visited in the
day and you might also want to consider sleeping over in the top if
you wish to see all peaks. What was not funny was about to
come, when i started going deeper and deeper into the mountain well
marked trail and I saw that the winding path climbing literally in a
vertical way. My knees where soared of only watching that way up. After the snack i felt little bit
better and continued my way up the hard way. After successfully
arriving at the First peak and temple I saw what i wanted to do
next. Although my body didn't wanted me to... I proceeded to the
stairs leading to the second peak, a path carved on the mountains
edged with a scary precipice in both sides. The views were amazing
and while sitting on the top of the stairs i met with the students
that i had met before. Image Code: |
