On the first day, it was my first day with all my family in China’s Huang Shan. Our plane arrived at Huang Shan airport at 7:30 pm. The airport was the simplest airport that I had ever seen. The airport was simply divided into three parts equipped with the most out dated technology. I suddenly realized this is China. Before this trip, I worried about everything. The airport unimpressed me, my heart sank. However, after we had stepped out of the old airport, a van and a tour coach were there and some people welcomed us. The van was for our luggage and the tour coach will be carrying us for the whole journey.
To my surprise, our journey was well planned by our “tour guides”. Then we went to the hotel and surprisingly, the hotel was very comfortable.

On the second day, we began to go to China’s greatest mountain “Huang Shan” very early in the morning. We arrived at the bottom of the hill at 9am. “Huang Shan” was just like a picture. It was the most beautiful scene that I had ever seen. The mountain was very high, I wonder whether we had to walk up to the hill and it would certainly take us more than five hours to reach the top. However, I decided to follow my family and took the cable car. The cable car slowly lifted us high up to the top of the mountain. The view of the mountain was so wonderful and I almost used up all my film to shoot the miracle scenes. After we reached the top, we walked for about fifteen minutes and arrived at the hotel on the mountain top. The hotel was not bad at all. Later in the day, we walked around and took some pictures, and that’s the second day of our trip.

All of us woke up early in morning at about 7am. But the weather was not really good. It was a foggy and windy day. We were informed that we were not going to walk to the back side of the mountain. But will take the cable car, back to the bottom of the mountain and travel by car to another cable car station on the other side of Huang Shan. Everything went as planned and we arrived at the other side of Wong Shan. Every special scene of the back side of Wong Shan got an unusual name. To my surprise, this time our hotel was so beautiful, I just couldn’t believe it, I wondered how they were able to build a hotel on the mountain top. At 7pm we had our delicious dinner, and then it’s our free time.

After two days up on the mountain, we went to a big city called “He Fei”. It was a developed city, but unlike Hong Kong; the traffic was a kind of mess. However, the shopping malls were very crowded. They were crowded with many people. Unexpectedly, the merchandise products were quite updated. The hotel we stay in was the best of the ones we had stayed in. We all had had a great day.

We all got ready at 7am and headed towards the airport. We departed at 8am and arrived Hong Kong at 10 am.
This trip was wonderful and I enjoyed it very much.
