I’ve been meaning to share some photos of our weekend in Xi’an. Klynt and I really enjoyed our much-needed time away. It’s amazing what a few familiar faces and a change of scenery can do. It would’ve been nice to have an extra day to take in more of the city, but I can’t complain.
Even at the foot of the mountain the views were fantastic. Our journey began by bus as we weaved our way further up and further in.
This shopkeeper was enjoying her bowl of rice in the warm spring sun. There were many shops selling their goods.
This part of the trip made me a little uneasy. I wouldn’t say that I’m really afraid of heights, but my stomach and legs seem to tell a different story.
Stairs, stairs and more stairs; we did our share of climbing that afternoon.
Up top you see numerous chains covered with locks. Many Chinese people purchase these locks, attaching them to the chains, believing this will bring them good luck.
Locks, locks…
...and more locks.
A photo op. up top.
From here you can see the West Peak. We sat here for some time, taking in all that surrounded us.
And here we have a Chinese poem. Actually I have no idea what it says.
In a few short months the mountain will be crowded with tourists. I’m happy we made the trip when we did!
The steps were very steep and very small. I was hanging on for dear life!
This way you say? Xiexie (thank-you)!
