Back to Hangzhou

Traveling is not always glamorous. The day began with leaving the hotel at 9 AM to take a cable car back down the mountain to depart from Yellow Mountain. However, we were met with a very large queue at the cable car station. So, we waited for about three hours to finally get into a car. The picture below is of our wait, just to prove the traveling is not always fun!

However, the view down the mountain was stunning, and it was definitely fun to see parts of the path we had climbed up the day before. One picture of the cable car view is below.

After getting down, we stopped for lunch at the same restaurant as the day before (no one got sick, so that means it was an OK place to eat!!). On our way back to Hangzhou we stopped by one store by the side of the road, and then by an old city (tourist) market. The market entrance is pictured below.

I did buy a four piece painting of Yellow Mountain and a little stone pig (it is the year of the pig) from stores at the market, so it was worthwhile. The Yuan seems to go very far here with goods being quite cheap. Then it was time to drive the three more hours back to Hangzhou so we can do our homework that is due tomorrow. I am putting that off as I type on my blog instead….
