We got into the Huangshan railway
station at a bit after 4 in the morning, which is a rather
inconvenient time, considering that normal buses don't start running
until a decent hour and we sort of had to get to our hostel in the
next city over. We ended up taking a private bus. Or, rather, three
private buses. I was pretty out of it, but the other girls say that
we spent a good half hour driving in circles while we were on the
first bus. Then they kicked us out and told us to go to a second one,
which claimed to go to our hostel, but actually just kicked us out
and told us to get on a third one. We were getting rather worried at
this point, and annoyed that we had to pay for three buses when we
were expecting one, but we finally did arrive.
Everyone else except Rachael just
crashed in the room for a few hours, but I looked off our balcony and
saw this view:
And I was like, I have to run
around that place. It turned out that the hostel had super, super
cool grounds with climbing structures and old walls with gates in
them and a steam train front (what is that part called again?) and
all sorts of pretty scenery. They had a climbing wall that I really,
really wanted to climb on, but I wasn't sure if I was allowed to and
the belay device was different than I am used to, so I didn't. I did
get out my camera and take lots of pictures, though.
When people woke up we spent the rest of our day walking around
the town, enjoying the scenery and taking more pictures.
