Ni hao Chinese sympathizers, I am staying in Beijing, China for one year to get familiar with different kinds of rice sorts, learn how to throw chopsticks, practice spitting and riding a bike without tyres .. or is this sheer nonsense? I'll clear you up!

Huangshan (Aug. 31 - Sep. 2)

Two Adidas, one pair of Asics and one Nike pair on a journey. Let's check out which pair can stand the challenging two days of a million miles' hike. Dan, Jörn, Joanna...
and Jenny!
Kicking off the adventure.
Cheering them up and practicing Laola...




Still highly motivated, the first ten thousand stairs were a piece of cake.



The Huangshan mountain range comprises many peaks, 77 of which exceed 1,000 m in altitude.
Beautiful granite peaks.


The mountain tops are often above cloud level!


Energy refill.
What a night! A five-star hotel price for two bunk beds....
Good morning, day two!






Narrow Cliff.


The Fairy Tail Bridge.














How did they build these stairs?
Natural stone meets concrete. The engineers are impressed.


and how did they build those?

Mystery land.
