YIKES! It's amazing how all these adventures never happen around English speakers, it's some kind of weird travel karma! lol But the good thing is you get a darn good story to tell afterwards, after you get over the panic and fear! lol Sounds like you had quite an experience yourself!

I always got a little anxious when I knew I wasn't getting off at the final stop! Isn't it funny though how these nightmare situations whilst travelling tend to work out alright in the end! Reminds me of when I lost the key to the Firenze hotel I was staying in. Stuck out the front, no one answering the door. I had to call the hotel manager's mobile a dozen times before she answered. She spoke only in Italian, so I had no idea what she said, but she sounded annoyed... Her husband arrived 45 minutes later to let us in. Funny though, she spoke perfect English the next day when explaining the extra charge I had to pay for losing the key! The stories we get from travelling hey! .-= Adam Axon´s last blog ..<a href="http://illuminatedtraveller.com/2010/08/adelaides-north-terrace/" rel="nofollow">Adelaide’s North Terrace</a> =-.

Clearly nothing has changed then lol. Huangshan is certainly not a dull area for travellers who like a challenge!!! And I'm not even talking about the mountain, that's a whole other story lol.

There's a city, town and village called Huangshan. In 1999, I climbed the mountain in the night, watched the sunrise and came back down to realise I didn't know which town I was staying in (my hotel was a 5yuan a night type that didn't have a name). I just knew "Huangshan". I spent 8 hours visiting towns in the area looking for it and late the next night discovered I had come down a different side of the mountain than I went up. It was more eerie than anything else. Glad to see, this area is still providing foreign travellers with some adventure. The confusion of Huangshan strikes again.
