This is a photo taken on Yellow Mountain (Huangshan). Many Chinese make a pilgrimage to this very famous mountain renowned for its beautiful scenery. A local tradition is to buy a lock, engrave your names on it, lock it onto the chain and then throw away the key for good luck. So somewhere up there we have a lock amongst the many thousands with our names on it!
I'm partly interested in the locks but I want to see the photos of you coming down Yellow Mountain.
ReplyDeleteThat's very interesting, but it reminds of a fence we saw in New Zealand when we were driving to Dunedin where everyone hangs their thongs on it (I don't think it was for good luck or anything, but it was very funny).
ReplyDeletethats really cool linda! i wish i could go to china and see that! one day! ....
ReplyDeleteI found my visit to China very fascinating especially the lifestyle which is so clearly influenced by the history of the country.
ReplyDeleteYou seem to have found some special parts of the country and I also would love to see more of the photos
Love this sort of travel photo - instead of the 'this is me in front of........"
