Climbing up the mountain
Huangshan has more stairs than a stairway to heaven. It seemed like the entire mountain range had stairs carved into them for people to climb. We took a cable car up and then walked around for six hours climbing different peaks. Making sure to obey the buddy system, Elias and I linked arms and headed up the mountain ahead of everyone. Minus the linking arms part. We'd been immersed in clouds the entire day until we finally reached the top of the second highest peak, above the clouds.
At one point we passed a railing of locks. Couples buy locks to "lock their love" to the mountain.
There were also these funny red lines scattered on random paths telling people where they could and could not smoke.
