I went to Huangshan last weekend. It was very nice to see those amazing landscapes in this huge country. My boyfriend and I totally disconnected from our daily crazy lives in the city.
Even though I prefer beaches instead of mountains, I was really surprised this time.
We debated between going up to the top of the mountain by cable car or hiking/by foot, so finally we chose to walk/hike/go by foot. At first it seemed easy, but with every step my  mind was changing. We hiked uphill for 4 hours and downhill for 4 hours. It was exhausting because I never do sports!

during the last steps I was almost crying, I had help myself with my hands to arrive to the LAST cable car to go down of the mountain. If we didn’t arrive at time, we had needed to hike down for 3 hours more.
After two days I still can’t walk normally.
