While blogging my China trip, not only did I relive the trip and revisit old memories, I heard from several people about fascinating places in China. Xandre Verkes blog answers the question I had about how can a path be built on a mountain, seemingly without any super structure? The path we took to Tiger Leaping Gorge was dynamited out of solid rock and spanned “empty” space in two spots. Xandre sent me a message and I looked up his blog. Click this link to stunning photos of the daring Chinese workers who build flat up against a 90 degree mountain. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did:
