Xi`an Trip - Part II

Xi`an Trip - Day 2
Travel to Hua Shan (Mountains)

Place: Railway Station, Xi`an. In the early morning, 5 of us headed towards HuaShan (Mountains). It was very foggy day and wasn't suitable for visiting the mountains. But we were determined to visit this place. We had very less time and trip was very well planned. Sudarsan and Kapil somehow communicated at ticket counter and got us tickets for this place. This place is a bit far from Xian City. This time Train experience was wonderful, as it wasn't the soft sleeper.

We met her in train. She is very cute and can count numbers and speaks pretty good. When one of us asked her name, she was bit confused. I think it was our tone. I am surprised, how they can identify the tone of a word.

Place: HuaShan moutains, ShanXi Province. On our way to cable car station. It was wonderful experience. All the roads are so slippery with frozen snow on road.

Start of Snow fight... Devan (Right most) was bit angry after snow fight. Someone threw snow on his head and in minutes it was all wet. :-) But It was fun playing in snow.

Place: Top of Huashan mountains. That's me, Fully prepared for my hiking. We did mange to walk on mountains.

Place: HuaShan mountains. We are climbing mountain. It one side there are huge rocks and other side there is a kilometer long ditch... Since the day was foggy, we couldn't actually feel how deep it would be. But for sure I will get the pictures from my next trip. If it was not foggy that day, I really wouldn't have dared to walk the way I did.

Place: Huashan mountains. I think we were on some huge rock on the edge of mountains. We couldnt see anything below from this point. The view was just like, one would see earth from clouds during flight journey.

Place: HuaShan mountains. The above pictures are just few to share in my blog. There is nothing I could really capture in camera.

Place: HuaShan mountains. Cable car getting lost in dense foggy. Its 10 minutes ride (one way). While going down we could really see how some part of cable and it looked almost vertical.

Place: HuaShan mountains. On our way back. We spend around 4 hours walking on mountain and came back. Next trip which I plan would involve a clear check on weather. My roommate went last month and his photos are jaw-dropping. I would like to add few here but in next blog.

Place: HuaShan mountains. Some wrong settings on my S1 IS fetched me this. I didnt notice this until I was browsing thru my collection for this post.

This mountain hiking was one of the wonderful thing in this trip. We had fun and wonderful time. I would like to visit this place with right person. :-)
