May 29th, Last full day in Guizhou

{No journal entry but here's what happened.

First thing in the morning, we climbed a mountain where a famous general is buried. I'm not sure what his name is, but he was at the "mountain stage sky"--literal translation. It might be "stage sky mountain", I'm not sure. I was translating from the sign.

At the very top of the mountain was a monastary and beautiful scenery. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves. (The tomb of the general is up the stairs shown below).






After that, we went to an ancient village that is still inhabited by modern Chinese. The village dates back to the 1600's (one of the pictures shows ancient stairways--sideways). We watched a show which dates back hundreds of years dealing with a Three Kingdoms battle between Guan Yu (worshipped by the Chinese), Liu Bei, Zhang Fei and Lu Bu.






Afterwards we took a boat ride on Red Maple lake. Then we headed back to Guiyang.}
