During the Dragon Boat Festival we went to Sanqing Mountain in Jiangxi province. On the first day we went river rafting and then went on a 1-hour climb to Tian Liang, saw the view and went back to the hotel to have dinner. During the daytime we can climb and visit the village, but in the evening there is nothing to do, so we just had dinner, watched tv and went to sleep. On the second day we got up earlier and  ate breakfast. When we were eating breakfast, a local told us he could drive us to another ticket office from where we could climb to the top of  the mountain. He told us not to buy cable car tickets, because they were expensive. We asked the driver how much that would cost and he said 60rmb. After some bargaining, we paid 50rmb. When we arrived at the ticket office, Michel bought 2 tickets for us to climb, which cost 300rmb. We then climbed for 8 hours, from 8:30am to 4:30pm, but just climbed a part of the mountain, as Sanqing is a very big place. We felt very tired.
