Love trains in China
We had sleeper bunks going to Xiandu, while we were traveling during the day - which in the end was quite nice, since we had our own little 'room'

Crossing the river to start our hike
Bamboo forest
Incredible view from the (almost) top.
The actual mountain top
It was incredibly hot and muggy that day. And by the time we reached the top there were no food vendors :-( (i know i know, but hiking in China, we have gotten spoiled thinking that we do not need to bring too much water with us, since there would be always ppl on the top, but of course the one time we didn't bring enough water....nobody was there on the top....)
The pagoda on the top, check the incredibly fit (and young) kids there with their mothers on high heels....

The bamboo rafting trip
The raft wasn't completely water proof....we went down a slope a few times, with all the water splashing through the bamboo. No wild water rides in theme parks would get any better than this....

The famous wedding pictures
Bum against bum
You can see here, but this must have been a lady of approx. 85+ years. Really tiny old lady. Quite impressive how strong and healthy they are at this age.

There weren't any restaurants in the village we went to, so we ended up eating with a local family.
The really nice family that had us over for lunch :-D
