Walkabout Xiqiao Mountain (part 2) Foshan, China

In part two of the walkabout on Xiqiao Mountain, I hike up the hill a bit, and then cheat and get on the cable cars. I was the only customer for the cable cars this day; an odd feeling. I wasn’t sure if this was a good idea or not.
Once I got to the top I went up to the Big Buddha, I looked around and found a few tourists and worshipers. It had a much different feel than the first time I was. But, the crowds were thin and it was an amazing experience yet again. After getting to the top, you can look down on the town of Xiqiao to the North. The Buddha is so massive that in can be seen for miles around.
Headed back into town, I passed through the temple complex and the take car back to the town. Walking back to the hotel, I came across a street fair of some kind… always a lot of energy at those. And I finished the night with a beer on the balacany at the hotel and enjoyed the thunderstorm.
