Yellow Mountain

Ever since my family came we’ve been touring everywhere. We have been visiting a different city each day with a government sponsored tour. So in every city they take us sightseeing and then they start talking about some local famous product (brainwashing!) and finally they take us to a “factory” to buy where they do this whole show trying to convince you to buy. It’s very funny, Chinese are good at selling. So far we have visited Shanghai, Suzhou, Wuxi, Nanjing and today we spent the day in Huangshan. In the morning we went to the mountains, the views were amazing! To get there we had to take a 10 minute ride in the cable car. I imagined it would be a small car, but it was huge! About 100 people were squeezed into one car.
