Human's adaptiveness is amazing. The itch is getting worse but I
manage to sleep like a dead pig (that's how Chinese describe someone
who sleeps like a .. .. dead pig) till 5:45am.
 Slip
into the down jacket provided by the hotel, I shoot right out of the
door towards the Sunrise Gazebo. I get there first but I have
an ominous feeling. 16 years ago, I had my shot at a beautiful
HuangShan sunrise but failed. I have a feeling that the same thing
will happen today. Why? Because all I can see is this thick fog in
front of me (on right) when the sky gets white. Sigh.

6:30am, I am back in the hotel room, disappointed. But hey, maybe there is
something else to see besides the sunrise. I don't want to waste 2 hours
watching TV on the magnificent HuangShan. So I pick up my gear again and head
for the east side of HuangShan.
20 minutes later,
I stumble into fairyland.
|
Wow! Frost! But it's only the beginning. |
Holy .. .. |
Smoke! |
Soft red light casts life onto
pale white frost. |
Too bad my camera is not
showing enough red. But still enough to drop mouths. |
My mouth is
dropped, and probably drooling involuntarily.
|
|
!!!!!! |
Before the sun rises high, cold
wind is in charge. It freezes and frosts as it sweeps through rocks
and pines. |
Fog has the effect close to clouds but with much less intensity. |
This makes my 18 hour work days
worthwhile. |
The foggy HuangShan takes on
another mood.

Looking back to the North Sea
Hotel. |

There is a cool Chinese phrase describing someone who gets carried away as
"forgetting what his father's last name is". That is exactly me
in this fairyland. I keep clicking my camera until my 340M microdrive is
full. Then I feel my frozen fingers  .
They hurt but it's worth it, definitely worth it.
|
After a fulfilling morning, I spend the afternoon walking around casually.
Standard white-clouds- blue-sky-green-pine shot. |
It's cold up at 5,300 feet. Frost in shadowed area still remains
even at noon. |
|
Kam
ventures into an off-limits area. This shaky bridge injects a little
bit of adrenaline into a casual afternoon. |
|
|
Quiet sunset.
|
|
|
|
Kam
climbs up this cable car tower to watch sunset. Kind of scary when
cable cars rumble by. |
|
There is almost no convenient food up in HuangShan. Either you eat cup
noodle, biscuits or you eat at the hotel. I am extremely hungry
after a whole day's walking around so there is not much choice. It's hot pot buffet
and all-you-can-drink beer again  .
