A short hop from the city of Xichang, Qionghai Hu offers some fantastic views of the lake and the mountains around it, as well as opportunities to explore the immediate surroundings like Lu Shan.
After passing a memorial for the Japanese occupation of China, and several fortune tellers installed near the steps leading up Lu Shan, I passed the Liangshan Yi Minority Slave museum, paid my entrance to the nature park, and was stopped by a big group of monkeys which were running around, fighting, and hissing at me. I decided to be careful, and at the same time, marveled at the remarkable speed at which they shot up and down the trees. Walking further up hill, I passed several Buddhist temples and monasteries, all part of the Lu Shan temple complex that had suffered during the Cultural Revolution but which seems to be recovering - temples are being rebuilt. All temples seemed a haven of peace, and all had their own atmosphere. As the stairs seemed to continue up the hill, I decided to continue climbing them. When I pointed at the picture of a view tower on top of a hill, a picture that I had seen several times already on Lu Shan, a woman enthusiastially pointed up - and I was under the impression that it would be right at the top of this Lu Shan mountain. The stairs cut nicely through the pine tree forest - with a nice scent in the air, walking up was very pleasant. As long as there were signs pointing uphill towards the watch tower, I was confident I was on the right way. But when I finally reached the top of the hill, I was in for an anticlimax. Instead of a six-story watchtower, I found an electricity plant, strictly forbidden to enter. The Chinese that had been climbing Lu Shan, also looked a little lost - and since the path finished here, there was no other option than to walk down again. While doing so, I counted more than 4,000 steps. At least climbing Lu Shan gave me some serious exercise!
