Local Hike

This past weekend, Bob was busy grading tests, so the rest of us headed out for a local hike. We set our aim for the tower that we can see from the apartment.  Although it appeared to be a distance away, it turned out to be pretty close. We followed the GPS, Baidu Map, and painted maps on the walls and found the tower. On our way, we encountered all sorts of interesting sights - such as the Minion decorated school and the burial plot for a school principal. The weather was nice. The temperature was a bit warmer. Unfortunately, the smog made it hard to make out the city from the outlook.  It was a fun afternoon.  We gave our calves a great workout with all the stairs we climbed both up and down.

We made it!

The stairs were very steep in certain places

Is this really the path up to the tower?

We stumbled upon this hotel
