Our holidays this Dec 09 / Jan 10 in Jangxi and Anhui give us the chance to visit 4 World Heritage sites Lushan Mountain, Sanqingshan Mountain, Xidi / Hongcun Villages and Huangshan.
The two mountains were difficult to climb as it was winter and both places were snowing before our visit. We managed to visit both but the pace was very slow as the ground were covered with ice.
Lushan was still covered in snow and the view from the top was pretty with the mountains above the clouds at the spot where Chairman Mao had visited and taken photo.
Sanqingshan Mountain has many interesting natural granite sculptures resembling gods, animals and other features. These were easy to recognize while walking up the mountain.
Xidi and Hongcun village tour was easy and interesting to understand the lifestyle and thoughts of the community around the region the last 100 years which the 2 villages represents. The Anhui merchants were at one point playing a key economic role in the country.
Huangshan Mountain is famous for its scenic spots with the landscape dotted with pine trees. We went through the north entrance. There is lots of climbling to do and the cable car do not help much. We took a shorter route because the longer route covering about 5.5 km will be too tough for the children. Luckly, this shorter route do.
Next we proceeding our travel China trip to Summer Palace 250 years old royal garden of the Qing Dynastyhave a few famous spots like the "welcoming guest pine tree", so the visit was still worthwhile. This is the place where the Qing dynasty emperors live and work during the hot summer’s months. Around the area are temples which were constructed under the royal order.
The World Heritage Committee held its 34th session meeting in Brasilia from 25 Jul - 3 Aug 2010. 2 sites we have previously visited was inscribled. The 2 sites are China Danxia and Historic Monuments of Dengfeng in "The Centre of Haven and Earth".
