Traveling the World

Cangshan Mountain Lift

This is the fun and cheap gondola ride from the parking lot into the Cangshan mountain. It takes about 15 minutes each way and provides a beautiful 360 degree view of the mountain on side and the Erhai lake and town below on the other side. Even though I’m not afraid of heights, I sometimes get the very normal and natural fear. Being on a gondola for such a long time and climbing to the height of about 5000 meters gets somewhat scary sometimes, because if the line snapped and you fell, it’s a long drop. Enough of me being a pessimist, I enjoyed the ride and the entire mountain experience.
