<\/a><\/p>\nThe walls of the mountain were carved and painted.\u00a0 The moss has taken over the area ever since the Buddha was carved out of the cliff face during the Tang Dynasty.<\/p>\n
The way in which the Buddha is carved into the mountain is quite interesting.\u00a0 There are 4 different ways to view the Buddha.\u00a0 Two of the ways include viewing it from a side angle.\u00a0 You can also view it from the water on a boat or walking down the side of the cliff to view it from below.\u00a0 We all really wanted to climb down the cliff to see the full view of the Buddha; unfortunately, since it just rained the steps were closed due to being slippery.\u00a0 The group decided to view it from the two sides and boy was it big!<\/p>\n Notice by the Buddha’s eyebrow is the other angle in which tourists can view it.\u00a0 Can you see the small ant-size humans? Pretty massive, huh?<\/p>\n These were the treacherous steps we wanted to take down the side of the cliff! Maybe I’ll be able to walk down them next time I visit!\u00a0 As we continued through the park, we came across a garden.\u00a0 In my opinion, everything is more beautiful with fog!<\/p>\n I almost walked into this fellow! He was quite photogenic for me but I felt bad because everyone who was looking at what I was taking a picture of screamed!<\/p>\n We climbed higher and higher. Next to waterfalls and up steps.\u00a0 We carried all of our belongings and appreciated this hidden treasure in this small town.<\/p>\n As we walked back down to the exit of the park, we found one last pair of death steps we hadn’t walked up yet.\u00a0 I call them death steps because you feel as though you will die walking up them and die if you fall down them!<\/p>\n Our final find was worth the climb!\u00a0 It was an old structure that overlooks the whole park!\u00a0 It’s 13 stories tall!<\/p>\n (Thank goodness I’m wearing bright green.\u00a0 Otherwise, you can’t see me!)<\/p>\n After a long day of hiking with our bags, we took another 45 minute bus ride south to Emil Shan.\u00a0 Here we checked into our new hostel, The Teddy Bear Hostel!\u00a0 Don’t ask me why its called this but the exterior looked like a log cabin while the interior looked like a modern hotel!\u00a0 It was quite a treat staying here!<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
