Below are photos of our trip up to Longji. We took our bus as far as we could, then a smaller "shuttle bus" for another 30 minutes, winding up the mountain road. After the shuttle went as far as it could, we then hiked up limestone steps for another 30 minutes to "Ping An Hotel". This morning we hiked even further up the mountain and enjoyed a beautiful scenic view, as the fog slowly rolled in and out of the valley. Truly a remarkable experience taken in by all!!
