On a warm saturday morning, Calan, Ahmed, Saadah, Yaw and I were all excited.. Excited because we were going to (Feng Huang Shan) "Shan" means Mountain in chinese. We were all set to climb Feng huang shan.. For the first time.. In Dandong city, Liaoning province, PRC... At the mountain gate, I looked around and wondered, how are we going to climb this?? It is sooo big I said... Then I remembered what Barry Finlay said "Every mountain top is within reach if you just keep climbing" and yes we did just that.. Kept climbing and climbing, with sweaty pants and shirts.. At some point, Me, Yaw and saadah got so tired we couldn't keep up.. Ahmed and calan went on of course. "Getting to the top is optional. Getting down is mandatory" Well we used the cable car to get down.. It was such a nice and hectic experience, but trust me.... It was worth it....

The cable cars. You can use it to climb up and come down from the mountain.
