Day Eight, a Five Star Hotel and a Couple Cokes

So today was not as excited as the others. It was mainly a traveling day. We started the day with some free time before lunch and checking out of the hotel to go to Yellow Mountain. Karleigh, Greg, and I decided that we had nothing better to do that morning except go to explore the city some more. We went to Long Street, a place for shopping. We could bargain down prices of things here, except I didn't, unfortunately, get to buy anything because it was mainly shoes and house supplies here. Then, we made our way back to the main central shopping center again. We stopped by Mickey D's and got ourselves a McFlurry. A taste of home! They make some really good McFlurries in China. Then we walked all the way back to the hotel.
When we travelled to the Yellow Mountain hotel we stayed at, it was probably the nicest hotel of the trip.

Coke in Chinese !

Our own private room for dinner with bathroom





We had a beautiful dinner and afterwards, we went to a hot springs. The hot springs had different types of baths, a coffee, a tea, a Jasmine tea, etc. They even had one where fish come and eat away the dead skin on your body. I wish we got to try it but it was freezing (the water was) and it cost money.

TOMORROW, we will conquer the summit, OF THE YELLOW MOUNTAIN
