Almost got stuck on this mountain when I failed to make it back to the cable car station before closing time. I just had to see the Fairy Walking Bridge. Anyways, the lady at the counter told me to bugger off when I tried to buy a ticket. I didn't have enough cash to pay for any of the accomodations on the mountain, so there was I sitting on the bench eating my packaged hotdog, basically had that "this is my life now" situation. About 10 minutes elapsed, a huge group of local tourists in those typical big tour groups came rushing down and tried to buy tickets as well. They were basically protesting, which I happily joined. In the end, she sold us the tickets and ferried us down during their maintenance operations two hours later. Then I missed the bus back to my hostel in another town about 40km away (Tunxi) so I stayed in a "secret hotel bedroom" inside a local convenience store.
I miss China.

在关门前我没能回到缆车站让我差点儿被困在这座山上——我只是想去看看仙女桥。不管怎样，当我试图想买一张票时柜台小姐告诉我让我离开。我没有足够的现金来支付在山上的住宿，所以我坐在长椅上吃我的热狗，基本处于“这就是我现在的人生啊”的状态。过了大概10分钟，一群典型的大型旅游团的本地游客也下山了，纷纷赶来试图买票。他们也没买到，于是开始抗议，我高兴地加入了他们。最后她把票卖给了我们，并且在两小时后的维护过程中把我们送下了山。然后我错过了回到我住宿所在的约40公里远的另一个镇（屯溪）的公共汽车，所以我在当地便利店的“秘密房间”里度过了一晚。
我想念中国。

I had a similar experience with my girlfriend. We had planned to just walk down the mountain on our second day but we went to all the branching paths from beihai before heading down. We missed the cable car by 30 minutes and got to the bottom of the mountain at 10 or so when there were no busses. We called the number on the bus sign and a very generous man picked up and charged us the usual fee of 30 RMB (~$5). Needless to say we tipped him generously despite him turning down our tip twice.

我和我的女朋友也有类似的经历。我们本打算在第二天步行上山但是在去北海景区之前迷路了。等我们到那儿的时候已经10点多了，错过了缆车并且也没有公交车。我们就对着公交牌上的一个电话打了过去，然后来了一个非常慷慨的男人载了我们一程并且只收了我们30块钱（5美元左右）。不用说，尽管他拒绝了我们两次，我们还是给了他一笔小费。

I would've chosen to walk down the mountain like you did if it weren't so dark at that time, and yeah I was on my own so it was probably not the best idea.

如果天没黑的话我也会像你一样走上去，但是是的，我独自一人，所以这可能不是最好的主意。

I went there on April 1st this year and that was the first day Tian Du Feng was open. Of course I made my family go because who knows when we'll get another opportunity. By the time we made it to the top, we only had an hour and a half left to get back to the cable car area (we had already paid for the tickets). I thought we had plenty of time to turn around and go back but my parents insisted that the only way to go was down the entire fucking mountain.
Let me tell you about this fucking hike down though. It took us three and a half hours to get all the way down, but the first half of it is some of the steepest staircases you'll ever encounter. Not only that but some times they don't have railings so you really have to take your time. Many people were in the same predicament as us and you could hear friendships and families being torn apart because of how hard and long going down the mountain was, everyone was yelling, kids were crying, adults were crying, it was awful. Obviously for those that exercise intensely every day and backpack and hike a lot it probably ain't shit to them, but for the average person, it'll make you cry. It also sucked even more because you knew you HAD to go down. There was literally no other choice because by the time you wanted to quit you were already a fourth of the way down, and sure you could climb your ass all the way backup and stay at a hotel on the mountain but we already had a room at another hotel and it's hella expensive to stay up there.
Still, one of the best experiences I've ever had in my entire life and I regret none of it. I recommend everyone go and do it if they have the chance. There's nothing quite like China.

今年4月1日我也去了那里，并且那是天都峰开门的第一天。当然，我是和我的家人一起去的，因为谁知道什么时候我们会有另一个机会过来。当我们到达山顶时，我们只剩下一个半小时的时间回到缆车区了（我们已经买了票了）。我认为我们有足够的时间掉头回去，但我的父母坚持说，唯一下山的路就是要TMD徒步走下去。
让我告诉你我们TMD是怎么走下来的。我们花了三个半小时才把所有的路走了一遍走下山，但前一个半小时是你遇到过的最陡峭的楼梯。不仅如此，有的地方他们还没有栏杆，所以你真的需要慢慢来。许多人和我们处于同样的困境，你可以听到友谊和家庭的破裂，因为下山是太艰难和漫长了，每个人都在大喊大叫，孩子们在哭，大人们在哭，太可怕了。显然，对于那些每天剧烈运动、背包徒步旅行的人来说，这对他们来说可能不算什么，但对普通人来说，它会让你想哭。更悲剧的是，你知道你“必须”得走下去。这在字面上没有任何选择，因为在你想放弃的时候，你已经是第四个下去的了，当然你可以一路爬上去在山上的宾馆过一晚，但我们已经订了另一个酒店的房间，而且待在山上贼贵。
然而，这是我一生中经历过的最好的经历之一，并且我对此从不后悔。我建议每个人都去做，如果他们有机会的话。在中国没什么比得上这个了。

Just curious, how did you manage to find the "secret hotel bedroom"?

只是有点好奇，你是怎么找到一个“秘密房间”的？

So I was looking for a place to sleep, and being a cheapass/frugal backpacker, I wasn't ready to settle with the 100 yuan room everyone else was offering. So I walked into a local supermarket and bought a Pepsi, chatted up with the cashier/owner and asked her if she knows any cheap rooms around. She called up few of her friends, and most of them won't accept a tourist with a foreign passport (wtf right?). Yeah eventually some good lady took me in, even drove and pick me up back to her shop. I paid 50 yuan for a room with two queen size beds. It was awesome

我一直在寻找一个睡觉的地方，作为一个穷游者/背包客，我还没打算去住那些到处都有的100块的房间。于是我走进一家当地的超市，买了一瓶百事可乐，和收银员/老板聊了起来，问她是否知道附近有没有便宜的房间。她给她的几个朋友打了电话，他们中的大多数人不想接受一个外国游客（WTF，对吧？）。是的，终于有个好心的小姐带我回去了，甚至开车送我回她的商店。我花了50元住了一个有两张大号床的房间。太可怕了。

Calling it "Mt. Huangshan" is kinda redundant since shan means mountain in Chinese. Still a great pic though.

称之为“黄山”有点多余，因为“shan”就是中国的山的意思。当然，这是一张伟大的图片。
