Wulong Karst

Today we visited Wulong Karst.  For a country filled with cities, China sure has some beautiful national parks.

The bus stopped and it was cold, so we immediately bought some super fashionable rain ponchos.  We bought our tickets, and were off to see some natural bridges!  Apparently some of the largest in the world!


To get to the hike we took a glass elevator going down.  We then climbed down a bunch of steps to a post where you can walk around and check out the old buildings




A little off the beaten track we saw a little waterfall.  It was coming from so high up - by the time the water reached the ground it was all separated into little sprinkles that looked like rain!  Without even hesitating, Bailey handed me his backpack, buttoned up his poncho, and stepped under the water.  I'm not sure why - I was so cold!


After he got his poncho all wet, we found a place where the two of us could stand for a picture without getting wet at all.


The hike was just gorgeous!  We stopped all the time to take pictures and admire the views.  Check out this natural bridge:




There was also some water in rivers and pools.  At one point there was a larger body of water, and all of it was completely jade green!  I don't know how that happens, but it was gorgeous.




Near the end of our hike we found some goats which were so cute!  Mitch whipped out his camera and went after them for some quality nature shots.


Katey handed Bailey one of their nice lenses, so Bailey attached it to our camera body and joined Mitch!  Bailey is a pretty good goat photographer, it turns out!



After that it was a tram ride, a couple of busses, a subway, a plane, and then a taxi and we were back at our home in Changzhou, China.  What a fun trip we had!
