We went on our first Chinese road trip over the recent October holiday (which is sort of the Chinese 4th of July). We drove about 6 hours to a place called Huangshan. This is a very famous tourist destination for Chinese. Many a contemplative Chinese poem has been written about the place over the centuries. Its a mountainous place that sort of reminds me of Yosemite. Lots of exposed granite. Anyway, unlike Yosemite, you can take a c
able car to the top of different sections of the park. It was sort of a crazy place to take little kids since the paths are very narrow and carved into fairly steep cliffs so someone small and wiggly could be in trouble, but we made it and they loved it.
