Fei Lai Rock

Unsually shaped rocks are one of the 4 attractions of Huangshan. The other 3 are pines, clouds and hotspring. Fei Lai means 'flown there'.

We got up at 5, started climbing at 5:15 and waited at our favorite spots, and waited. It is now 5:46, the sunrise was supposed to be at 5:45! We've been cheated - by the clouds! It was nevertheless serene and beautiful.
