Huangshan (Yellow Mountain)

After hiking Yellow mountain in Huangshan for three days I took 209 pictures and like 4 videos . Here are few of my favorites. Hope you like them!  These mountain are beautiful and I couldn't get enough of them. Three days of Hiking
Day One: Allie, Erin and I hiking up the side of the mountain
Day Two: Allie, Erin, Alex,Monique, and I taking the cable care up and down, but hiking in between.
Day Three: All of us wondering around the mountain in a beautiful valley.

 

 

Can you see the hand?  Its in the middle! 

 

 

                            

Peek-a-boo!  Monkeys were seeking up because people were dropping and throwing food for them. 

Do you see the face?  

 

Do you see the shark? Watch out he might get you! 

Buddha out of rock! 

All the girls I went with! 

Emerald Valley at the bottom of the mountain was just as beautiful as the mountain it's self!

 

 

 

 

 

Xian, China (Terra Cotta Warriors)

This was a great weekend trip!  I was able to learn how to make dumplings and I met some really cool people from Canada and San Francisco. I learned that Hostels can actually be really nice places to stay. The Terra Cotta Warriors were amazing to see! To say that I saw 8,000 clay warriors from thousands of years ago is awesome in my book! I also was able to walk on top of the wall that once protected the city of Xian and can't forget the traditional Chinese music and dance show, it was unforgettable.

Learning to make dumplings.  There are many different shapes of dumplings.  This one on the right was the nicest one I made!

  

 
Went for a walk on the wall that use to protect the city of Xian. Pretty Cool!
 

  Bikes that were on top of the Wall 

 Big Goose Pagoda I would have pictures of the Small Goose Pagoda but right as Allie and I were talking up they were closing the gate, go figure after we walked awhile to get there.  

   

These are the pictures from the Traditional Chinese Dance and Music show we went to, it was soo fascinating. The videos wont load for some reason :( Once I am home and people are to see the videos from any of my trips or students let me know.  Now on to the best part of the trip......................
