Yangtian Mountain

Mike, my student, took me to this mountain. It was a fun journey that started at 6:00am :P
We started the morning off eating at a fancy hotel cafe. I believe that it must be Chinese culture to give your best to your guest. I offered that we should grab something quick to eat on the way. I was told that it would be a 4 hour car drive to the mountain. It turned out to be only 45 minutes.
SO here is some photos to describe our hike up this relatively new tourist attraction from the locals perspective. I hope you enjoy the journey.

Fancy Hotel Cafe. They had some western food there. 

Mike enjoying his cereal, noodle,toast, butter, eggs, bread, juice, coffee, etc.

Sheep we saw crossing the street on the way to the mountain.

Mike, I am thankful for the opportunity to know his family.

"Do you want to eat now? or to go?"

Antique furniture in a brick cottage.

The slide is the best way to go down the mountain. Where was this when we walked Taishan:)

Reminds me of the catachisims
