Shenzhen, to the end of the hike


At the end of the ridge is this small gray pagoda. There's a trail to the left that takes you to the city on the back side of the ridge, a trail to the right that takes you back into Shenzhen.


This is the trail to the left.


This is the trail to the right. I chose the right and started counting the stairs going down because I was told it was 800 steps. Did I mention how steep the stairs were?


Benches held up by dogs and mice.


The last character on the top is fire so maybe there are fire fighting tools or water hoses in there since so many people smoke. I like the rabbits on the bottom. Saw several of these.


Another friendly fellow.


The sun was setting so wasn't sure why they were headed up the trail. Still counting stairs.


The trailhead had a crane and turtle. This is about the end of the trail and there is a swan...


...and three turtles. At last, no more stairs, just take the road the rest of the way down to the street and hike back to the hotel. By the way, give or take a hundred, I counted 1,040 steps.


The end of the hike. Only 50 feet from the street. Can you say 'spaghetti legs'?
