I was sorry that all I brought with me were sweaters, once I stepped out of the airport. How can anyone be wary of a 13 degree Celsius "cold front"! If I was prepared, I'll be out with my tank-tops and halters. ;-)

After a few days of napping some more, went on my way to Guangzhou city on a bus. From there, I flew to Anhui Province, which is somewhat close to Shanghai. That's one of my final destination - Huangshan (The Yellow Mountains). At around 2k meters above sea level, it's not very tall but what wonderful sceneries. Took the cable cart up the mountain and stayed at the top for 2 days. Getting around were stone steps.

At the end of my trip in Anhui, our guide took us to few places where Crouching Tiger was filmed. One was the "Hong" village - over 800 years old and still with 200 inhabitants living there. Then also visited this valley where the bamboo scene was filmed. I must say it looked much better on film! (Cameras are so tricky.)

I was dying to get back to Hong Kong and watch TV after walking and walking and walking....(well, more like hiking and hiking and hiking.) And last but not least, I DID NOT catch the SARS. Good timng.

P.S. I ran out of color films so most of the photos are in black and white.
