Ok for someone that has never visited a cave. For me, as a dedicated cave explorer, it was a disappointment. I hope they would take some of the money that they make from selling tickets and replace the current warm light system in the cave, that damages the cave walls, (as you will see if you visit the cave; green moss growing everywhere) with cold LED lights.

I found myself on the ridge, at 4200 meters altitude, the mountains rising from the grasslands, like islands floating on an emerald sea.

Vultures were circling above my head, curious about this two legged creature who dares to venture into their abode. 

I love the mountains, the freedom and the challenges they offer. When climbing on their shoulders one realizes how insignificant humans are in the big scheme of the universe. I go to the mountains to lose myself and to find myself.

If you love hiking and find yourself in Gansu, look no further than Gannan. From the towering cliffs of Zhagana, to the grasslands of Sangke, from the holy peaks of Langmusi, to the karst plateau of Baishiya, Gannan is a hiking paradise. #hiking #mountainview

甘南

一片綠色的大海 – 甘南

A sea of green

一片綠色的大海

One step at a time, one breath, and one more step. Besides the technical gear, the skills, and more than the extreme scenes portrayed in films, this is mountaineering, a slow, strenuous fight to take one more step, one more breath.

The thin air at this altitude made me dizzy, my mind drifted like the snow. One wrong step and it’s end game, a crevasse could open underneath our feet and swallow us, a tumble down the slope and it’s done, an avalanche could sweep us off the face of the mountain. 

I steered my mind away from these thoughts and took one more breath, and then one more step; at the end of the climb, it’s nothing like in the movies, it’s one of these grueling steps that will take you to the peak.

Rising at 5254 meters above sea level, Gangshika is one of the “easier to climb” 5000 meters peaks in the Qilian Range. But don’t underestimate it. A step can take you up a peak, but it can also be the last you ever take. Mountaineering requires specialized gear, and more importantly years of experience. #mountainview

Cycling through Gansu can be a monotonous experience; vast expanses of loess hills and dry canyons. It was exactly how I was feeling that day pedaling up the road.

To my surprise the hills in the next village started showing patches of color, like a giant unseen painter has cleaned his brush on the hillside. As I was moving forward more an more colorful fields; I knew that I was getting closer to the canvas of this imaginary painter.

One more bend in the road and there it was, a quaint little village hanging from the terraces cut in the hillside, each terrace brilliantly colored by fields of lilies. This is the village of Sunjiagou.

From Lanzhou take local bus 44 to Balizheng and there ask a local do drop you in the village. It’s an amazing experience for flower lovers; just make sure you go there in early July. Most of the flowers are lilies, not just any lilies but day lilies, so if you don’t enjoy just looking at the flowers you can also eat them 😀

I drifted to sleep while the old boat was pushing lazily against the current; after more than an hour I was surrounded by a magical forest of stone, surreal spires piercing the clouds, as if trying to scratch the blue of the sky. Was this a dream?

I got off the boat and started walking deeper into the canyon, huge yellow walls on both sides, and a drowning forest in the midst of the gorge.

After a few hundred meters I saw him, a giant Buddha; it looked like it was tired and decided to sit, leaning against one of the walls of the canyons. He must have been very tired because he has been sitting like this for a few hundred years.

Bingling Si is located where the silty waters of the Yellow River meet the clear mirror of the Lujiaxia reservoir. You can take a slow or a fast boat from the Lujiaxia dam to reach it. It’s an ancient place with numerous displays of Buddhist art, including a giant Buddha statue.

The temples stood perched on the cliff face like eagle nests; the endless steps took me higher and higher, as I felt like I was climbing the back of sleeping giant.

As I finally reached the top of the mountain I walked through a forest of ancient pine trees. Long after the emperors who built the temples have turned to dust and taken their place in history books, these trees, these silent witnesses are still standing tall and proud, braving the storms.

There was an explosion of crude green so I decided to mute it with black and white photos, and keep the green forever in my heart and memories.

Located in the Taizi Shan mountain range, a short distance from the town of Hezheng, Songmingyan National forest park is a great place to visit in every season. Go in the summer for endless hiking possibilities; take a trip there in the winter if you want to ski; autumn is the season of a thousand hues of rusty leaves; while spring will delight you with the smell of flowers. #mountainview #hiking #forest

I stepped through the main gate of Labrang early at dawn. The air was bone chilling with the sun still hiding behind the surrounding mountains which look like massive camel humps.

The only sounds were the creaking of the prayer wheels and the footsteps of the pilgrims doing the kora. A Kora is a clockwise circumambulation of a holy place, in Tibetan Buddhism, in this case Labrang, one of the largest Buddhist monasteries outside Lhasa. 

When I started the kora, the sun peeked over the ridges, it’s reflection from the many temple towers sending golden arrows through the small cobblestone alleyways.

Labrang is a must see if you want to experience authentic Tibetan culture, explore one of the largest and historically significant Buddhist lamaseries, try the delicious yak yogurt and momo.

Langmusi, a small town located on the border between the provinces of Sichuan and Gansu, is famous for its authentic Tibetan culture and for its outstanding horse trekking, safari, and hiking tours offered by Black Tent Cafe.

The mountain ridges stretching West of the town are rarely explored by travelers, offering an excellent playground for those inclined towards “off the beaten path” adventures. 

Vertical limestone ridges and walls are perfect for traditional rock climbing, and there are literally hundreds of possibilities for epic first ascents. 

One can hike through Namo Gorge and explore many of the deep valleys or alpine pastures, the main attraction being the 4200 meters peak of Mount Huagai. 

The water has carved numerous small sized caves in the karst landscape, so those who enjoy exploring the underground will also find Langmusi attractive.

So what are you waiting for? Grab your climbing shoes, your headlamp, and your hiking boots and head out to Langmusi. #hiking #caving #outdoor #nature

I was climbing alone for more than an hour, the chains protecting the path were creeping up the mountain like a metal spine, the landscape which was supposed to be stunning was stubbornly hiding behind a sea of mist.

I have decided to climb Huashan in February, following the Soldier’s Path, and I was delighted to see that I was the only one on the path, a rare sight on Huashan, a mountain which can attract big crowds.

I stoped to drink some water, that’s when the mists lifted like a theater curtain, revealing a majestic landscape of white vertical cliffs rising towards the sky like massive statues of ancient kings.

Huashan is a must see destination if you go to Xi’an. There are buses and trains taking tourists very close to the mountain; hotels and other forms of accommodation on most of the main peaks and ridges; cableways, for those who dare not ascend on the head spinning footpaths, sometimes carved directly in the vertical cliffs. #mountainview

士兵的路徑 – 華山

The Soldier’s Path

士兵的路徑

The Qilian Range stretches for hundreds of kilometers, like a natural Great Wall, separating the Tibetan Plateau from the Gobi Desert and China’s Loess Plateau. With peaks close to 6000 meters, it is an alpine wilderness where, if you’re lucky, you can catch a glimpse of the “ghost cat”, the elusive Snow Leopard. Mount Huabao, with its five peaks that rise just shy of 4500 meters altitude, is located in the Southern Qilian Range. It is not very popular with tourists, and the secondary peaks are rarely climbed.

The landscape changes from the base of the mountain, where forests and shrubbery are intersected by mountain streams, climbing higher to alpine meadows where yaks graze and wolves roam, and culminating in the highest points with glacial valleys and jagged ridges and peaks.

There are no tourist paths, and information found on internet is minimal, making hiking on Mount Huabao a challenging orienteering experience, therefore a GPS backed by topo maps and a compass are essential.

We started the ascent on the north side of the mountain, from a lake called Dashitan. The north side is much more demanding, with a 2500 meters relative altitude, but much more beautiful. The first part of the climb follows the course of a river that flows through an old glacial valley. On the first day we passed by a farm and climbed to 3800 meters altitude, where we set our camp for the night.

A shroud of mist enveloped our tent just before we settled in, but later the sky cleared and we enjoyed a warm and pleasant night, the best I ever had at this altitude, nestled on a pass, between some rocks, with the high peaks on one side and deep valleys on the other, billions of stars and a brilliant Milky Way hanging above us.

The next morning we left our camp behind and decided to do a light and fast ascent of one of the nameless high peaks. We followed a secondary ridge, avoiding the snow and rock avalanche prone glacial circles.

The climb was a difficult scramble, but there was no need for technical gear and by noon we were enjoying the glorious view from 4449 meters altitude. The permanent ice and snow, that only decades ago covered the mountain year round, is now reduced to patches on the north faces.

During the descent we had the chance to make some friends at 3000 meters altitude. They were a group of locals looking for Cordyceps Sinensis, colloquially called “caterpillar fungus” in English and Yartsa Gunbu in Tibetan, which literally translates as “summer grass, winter worm”.

Reaching the base of the mountain we were invited to have lunch at the farm that we passed by on our way up, and again by the guard at the gate on the edge of the lake. We were full, but the local hospitality is not something that can be avoided and the only payment they accepted was a promise that we will visit them again, which we plan to do in the future. #hiking #outdoor #adventure #mountaineering
