During Dragon Boat Festival we went to Jiangxi to Sanqing Mountain. On the first day we went river rafting and visit tian liang just climbed 1 hour we saw the view and went back the hotel and had dinner. During the daytime we can climb and visit the village but in the evening nothing to do, just had lunch and watch tv and go to sleep. On the second day we got up for earlier and  ate breakfast when we eating breakfast have a local asked us I can drive with you to another seller’s room from there we can climb to the top of mountain, don’t buy cable car because if we buy the cable car tickets it’s expensive so the local driver said I can take you to another door. so you don’t buy the cable car tickets, we can save the money. So we asked the driver how much money the driver said 60rmb, we paid 50 kuai. Michel bought 2 climb tickets paid 300 kuai. So we from 8:30am to 16:30pm we spent 8 hours to climb but just climbed a part of mountain, not all. Sanqing mountain is very big place. We felt so tired.
