Let's climb a mountain!
-
Made it to the top, in a bit under 2 hours.
Hiked the last few meters together with this person, who really wanted to take a selfie with a foreigner!


@blinry wow!
-
Why is blinry climbing a mountain, why are they climbing a mountain?
@blinry to hug the mountain. To envelop that mountain.
-
On the ascent, I got to practice my nǐhǎo a lot, the trail was somewhat busy!
People seem surprised, but happy, when I try. And then often respond something I don't understand.
Maybe meaning "good luck, you can do it"?And I got an English "Welcome to China!"

@blinry they probably look confused because Shenzhen doesn't have a lot of white people, let alone white people who bother learning any Chinese. Could you attempt to romanize what they say back to you? I speak a bit and my wife speaks more (we currently live in China for work) so I might be able to tell you what they're saying.

I ike the view after 10 minutes already!
@blinry nicely framed as well!
-
Breathtaking view from up here!

@blinry the guardrails whisper 'Riven' to me a little.
-
Now down again! Having luck with the season, a lot of blooming Rhododendron bushes.

@blinry Ich finde es besonders schön, wenn die Blüten im Mondlicht leuchten.

Let's climb a mountain! This is the entrance of the 碧桐道 trail, leading to the top of Mount Wutong.
@blinry Great photos and view! BTW I forget, what's the geological term for steps that naturally form up a mountain, sometimes with handrails? -

@wombatpandaa By now I forgot
Maybe I can pay attention on a future hike! -

My report was cut short by the chaos.social outage today, but I had a nice (but exhausting) hike down on the other side of the mountain!

A bit below the top, there was a little convenience store, and numerous drink vending machines.

Oh, something else that I found on the top of the mountain: Surveillance cameras. #china
