West Sea Hike in Huangshan is a thrilling hike in the less crowded West Sea Canyon (西海大峡谷), where a narrow cliff-side footpath zigzagging its way down the steep canyon. It is a must-go hike if you are in HuangShan mountain.
We couldn’t wait to depart to HuangShan after taking the buffet breakfast in hotel. This is because HuangShan is the main reason we came for this trip. We hire a taxi to take us from the hotel to the cable car station. It took an hour and we deliberately arrive very early as we have heard stories of people queuing for hours just to get the cable car ticket

In the hotel’s lobby. As commented by many tourists, the room’s condition is quite worn out, not justifiable for its high price.

We saw this bridge hanging in the thin air, below is a 1000 m depth. Knowing we just got to cross over it, I took a very deep breath. I dare not stop on the bridge and took photos as I usually did else where, unless I know how to fly in case I fell down.
