Xihai (West Sea) Grand Canyon is a very famous spot in huangshan, which counts for 80% of the total entrance ticket value. But if you are going with the travel group organized by the traval agency, you would totally miss the opportunity of hiking in xihai grand canyon, since it requires lots of time and patience, so travel agency don’t want to do this project. It’s only you do a self-help travelling that you can enjoy the real beauty of Huangshan.

There is a saying goes like: if you don’t come to xihai west sea grand canyon in huangshan, then you are coming to huangshan in vain.

Xihai (West Sea) Grand Canyon also commonly referred to as the Magic Scenic Area, is one of the most beautiful sites on Huangshan Mountain. Recently hiking trips through this canyon has becoming extremely popular. The hiking route for hiking through the Xihai Grand Canyon follows a “V” shaped route. The two entrances of this tour, the Walking Fairyland Bridge in the south and the Cloud-Dispelling Pavilion in the north, have an elevation of 1320 and 1430 meters above sea level respectively, while the elevation of the canyon’s lowest point, the Tianhai, north of Walking Fairyland Bridge, is just 600 meters above sea level. Beginning at either of the two entrances, a hike through the Xihai Grand Canyon is 9.6 kilometers long and takes approximately four hours. Starting at the entrance, hikers travel downhill deeper into the canyon.

Once reaching the Tianhai (Haixin Pavilion), the lowest point of the hike, visitors will then begin to ascend until reaching the exit. Hiking the Xihai Grand Canyon is a bit of an adventure, so visitors are suggested to pace themselves and walk at a comfortable pace.

Bad weather on this special day, there is stormy rainy days since yesterday afternoon in Nanjing. No Eclipse, which is chance of million, has been veiled with heavy clouds and dampened in rain. What a centurial disappointment!

Now the magic moments has gone, the day has been bright again, with rain for sure. I have not been totally disappointed since there is 15 minutes black outside, that’s something big too, and I sensed the temperature going down outside.

It must let down those elipse fans who are coming to nanjing Gaochun district to observe this natural wonder, hardly seeing anything with the clouds so heavy. I was anxious to get home to watch the TV show about this Eclipse, I wonder what is looks like and if there is anything special happended in the world.

Eclipse in Nanjing is ruined by rain, so pity.  But the good thing is, we will have a cool sense of feeling tonight, not that hot anymore.

Eclipse, I will not got the chance to meet you again in my life.

In the big cities, wild green spot is less and less, in the replace of it, there is so many artificial green spots or gardens. If you got enough time and energy and above all, a wild car, then you are ready to go, to reach the wild nature green area where is far from the cities, maybe hours away.

You would it worth the oil cost you spend and the time driving, cause it’s so great to breath the fresh air, the air without the gas release flavor and the peaceful sound makes your soul calm down.

Some unkown flower or fancy colors may becomes a great picuture in your Cannon 40D and take your time to enjoy.

I have to say, every coin has two sides, and wild area may got some dangerous part to mention you with. After seeing so many horrific movies that talking some werid guy lerking in some wild and far area, do you scare of the faraway wild area ever since then ? Do do not leave the civilization for too far and don’t do to some places even without cellphone signal.

So enjoy your outdoor life in the wild green area.

Storming weather occur very often in summer time, that’s not something worth making a fuss about. But recent years, partly dur to the global warming,  werid weather conditions frequently surprise us, not to mention those disaster cases such as the davastating snow in China in 2008, the horrible water in America still in 2008….and one would never forget the big sichuan earthquake that makes the whole world notice. What would be anticipated 2009 ?

Last night, there was a terribly big stormy weather coming in 8pm, the wind is so big and werid, and the green trees in our surroundings been blown down, quite pathetic. I have never seen such a crazy wind in several years, and it’s said it’s only for a start, the summer time is still long long ahead in Nanjing.

Maybe we should limit the gas release to the air, and live simple life, waste less.

As a Chinese, I hate to admit the fact that most of us would choose the Japanese brand when buying Digital Camera. Canon or Sony, Sony or Canon…. There seems nonwhere to run. Oh, god, japanese are so good at those electric gadgets that needs precision.

Based on my exprience with Canon and Sony digital camera,  Canon seems to perform better when photo color is the focus and Sony always run ahead with the stylish design and fashion apparence. That’s the general impression.

I like to take shot in my garden and other green area, recording those flowers with name or not, those little grass. Canon often do a better job.  Check My Canon IXUS95 Work in My Vegetable Garden.

Sony certainly got this benifits and markets too, in fact, if you are not the professionist, sometimes, it’s hard to tell which is good, which is bad. Skill matters too.

Either one you chose, investigate more in advance in those BBS, and look at the sample picture other people takes and make your decision. If you are going to buy the expensive camera gadgets like the lens, bring a camera geek with you in case your heavy money is lost in sweet talks by the sales.

Sunday is a beautiful day with beautiful mood. I figure it’s a great time to go cycling in the Xuanwu Lake park. The sun is a bit severe, but I’m not afraid of the sun radiation at all. I got sun cream and we designed a great road line where the streets is all covered with green trees, so no sunshine at all.

The road line is generally go like this: The Shitoucheng park – The West Beijing Road- The Chengxian streets – Xuanwu Park – Back home

God, I feel so happy to live in a city where the big green trees is everywhere, or else, where would we cycling lovers go to with the sunshine so fierce out there. In the park, we take cycling bike by turns, since we only have one bike, but we have another electrical bike   On the road somewhere, we stopped for buying a hammock to lay between the trees to have a cheerful rest, watching dogs and old guys fishing. So nice.

By the way, I love the feeling taht I am swaging in my hammock  like a swing. Life is so beaufiful with a mountain bike.

Chinese medical opinions hold that 80% of the body disease comes from bad mood, believe it or not, it’s the way it is. Bad mood may exhaust your Qi (气）and Blood （血）at a more greater extend than you thought. If your Qi and Blood loose too many, disease may come after you. You would also becomes weak and fragile.

Blood terminology

Clinically 4 types of blood disorders are commonly encountered, namely blood asthenia or deficiency, blood stasis, blood-heat and blood-cold.

Qi

It’s a Chinese word, it’s hard to describe it, but it’s all the core to chinese herbal medical system. Sometimes, we have to admit the magic of the Chinese medicine and it’s point of views 

Next time, when you are about to get angry, too excited, or too worried, thinks about this harm it willl does to your health, and do some self control of your mood. Sometimes it’s hard, and green natural would help you to do that, so keep a garden or a green plants spot around home is quite important both for views and health.

Be happy, Be smile, Dancing in the wild nature, kiss the flowers in the garden.
