Day 1 in Shanghai, China

A morning stroll around The Bund near the Monument to the People's Heroes and a glimpse of the spheres of the Oriental Pearl Tower. An afternoon of learning at the Science and Technology Museum. Finally a breathtaking show of art and culture. ERA Intersection of Time is a showcase of beauty and skills.

Day 2 in Jiangxi, China

During the afternoon I continued hiking Sanqinshan. The weather fluctuated and the rock formations came into view. The stand out shapes with novel names: Python Slithers out of Mountain and Monkey King Appreciates Treasure. Can you spot them?

Day 2 in Jiangxi, China

I attempted to hike Sanqinshan again after the weather halted my progress yesterday. Taking the cable car up the peaks were blanketed with fog. Droplets of water highlighted intricate webs. Gaps in the mist offered opportunities to seize and appreciate. A lapse in attention and it was gone.

Day 1 in Jiangxi, China

I bypassed the cableway and began my ascent of Sanqinshan from the southern entrance. Upwards towards the sharp peaks shrouded in mist. A couple of alien looking creatures caught my eye on the way. Walkways around the mountain defy gravity and are a playground in the sky. Controlled play mind you especially when the visibility dropped to zero.
