Mount Emei

Instead of seeing this at the top of Mount Emei we saw this:

It was a long journey to the top so we were a bit disappointed. 

First we took a bus up the mountain for a couple of hours.  Then we climbed for a couple of hours in the rain and fog.   I was impressed by the people more than twice my age climbing the mountain.

 

This isn't real mountain climbing - it's walking up a lot of steps as is nearly every mountain in China.

I noticed that the Chinese tourists didn't seem to mind the fog or the rain.  No one looked as upset about it as we did.   I looked around and realized they had a different objective then we did for getting to the top.  They wanted to pray to the Buddha.
