Lao Shan

The first thing we did after breakfast on Saturday was go to Lao Shan, an old Daoist mountain retreat. It was unbelievably humid, sometimes raining, really tested the weather-proofing of my camera equipment, not to mention letting me reach new levels of sweatiness. But it was really awesome nonetheless.
