A ray of sunshine enter the room when we wakeup. We hurry to pack what we need to spend three days on the mountain, which may change mood in a trice. In order to spare energy we go by cable car up to Beihai (The North Sea) one of the 70 summits of Huang-shan (shan means mountain). The average of visitors is two thousand a day. Their dearest wish is to be close Buddha once in lifetime. Reaching at 1.630m. we run to book a room for the night. Surprise! No free bed. We have absolutely to stay we say. We literally implore everyone on the reception and get a pitiable hut which seems to be, at this moment, a hotel de luxe!
Now we may enjoy the spectacular landscape which surrounds us. Splendid peaks with thousand-year-old pines expand as far as my eyes can see. Stone ways and staircases access to many terraces from where we discover a new space. My hart will crack! Huangshan will be the bouquet of our walker’s excursions. It’s written this mountain attracts painters and poets for more than thousand years. Today I can see two inspirited artists painting those marvels. Before going in bed we explore the environment to locate an ideal look-out point to watch the rising sun.
