Water Buffalo Pools

After our river adventures, the group split up into two parts; one to get tattoos while the other went on a bike ride to hopefully go swimming.


We found a few water bison/buffalo just wading around in these pools with their nose rings tied with rope to a nearby tree.



They seemed so chill, which really fit the atmosphere.




This was our final destination. When we arrived a couple of people had just gotten out to leave for some other fantastic location. Everyone but me jumped in, which I now regret but I didn't want to swim that day. Perhaps I'll return to this amazing locale at some point in the future.


The bike ride was long but filled to the brim with amazing views of the landscape.

After our day in the sun we were forced to separate and choose once again as a problem occurred with train tickets. Either we could stand in a 17 hour train ride or wait a day and hope for tickets on another train( or two). Seeing as I felt horribly sick (contributed to my not swimming earlier) I elected to wait a day. I was a little heartbroken because that meant I would miss out on Cormorant fishing and potentially another site that was absolutely gorgeous.

Instead we had an early birthday celebration with lots of drinks, dancing, and awkward stories to tell the other group once we met up later on.


I even got roses out of the whole shebang :D

Huangshan

I'm really behind in blogging. My trip to Huangshan was in the middle of July, I got problems.



Anyway, Huangshan (Yellow Mountains) was amazing even with the terrible weather. I'd have to say that the weather actually made it more awe inspiring. Everyone should go visit at least once in their lifetime.



A lot of times where I have and still have nothing to say.









Some really unsafe areas that people were of course snapping shots near.





























There was lots of breathtaking sites.







This land is full of wonder
