Nine Dragons Waterfalls


Last day in Yellow Mountains. Time to say farewell to our lovely ancient cozy hotel. Was a great stay! If anybody ever wants to go to Yellow Mountain take this one! The whole name is Xidi Travel Lodge.


The Waterfalls were about 60 km from the hotel but we called the same driver as we had yesterday. Very chill, honest and funny guy. He even turned back in the middle of the night day when Lotta had forgotten her phone in the car.

Walking up the river to reach the waterfalls took some time and it was steep and HOT! I'm not gonna do this again in some time again because once we finally reached the top we were all dehydrated. Luckily they had a small shop in the hill selling overpriced water :) But we were really lucky with the weather, no rain and only sunshine with about 30 degrees.

There is a "Dragon Heart" below the waterfalls. The water is incredibly clear and probably deep as well. Too bed they didn't allow us to swim there, maybe there's a real dragon living in the pond below the mountains.

The "Dragons Heart"

There were 2 waterfalls, both with a deep pond below them. Could be very deep because the water is so clear.

They were building 2 new hotels just next to these waterfalls. How do you transport a lot of building materrials up the mountains? With donkeys! On our way down I saw a caravan of donkey carrying huge sacks of sand.

Up in the mountains they had build a house of lodge. No idea how to get there or how they were able to take that much materials up there. Would be cool to stay there for a while. Views must be great!

Our buss to Shanghai was on time and 13.30 we started out 7 hour journey back. We did some good timing because when we stepped into the buss it started raining and not all seats were takes so there was plenty of space. Lucky! This weekend was really awesome!
