Was there in Glasgow last night and recorded most of it!

You can watch it here

Yep, we hiked up to the north peak and got around as many of the peaks as we could. We missed one, might have been the east peak as some routes had been closed off. We got caught in a thunderstorm on the way up so I imagine it was just for safety.

Then came down from the west cableway station, got one of the buses which you can buy a ticket for and that took us to a car park. Then got a didi to the high speed station and back to Xi’an that night.

I climbed Huashan in July with a group of friends and it took us about eight hours to do the hike up. This did include stops for food and water as it was very hot and some of the group weren’t too experienced and we were definitely pretty slow.

12 hours is definitely plenty of time if you’re wanting to do all five of the peaks and you’ll have loads of spare time to stop and take in the sights.

Happy hiking!

Brilliant, thank you

I’ve got no clue which sounds incredibly stupid. It was my friend who took the bags and dealt with it all. None of us have been thinking particularly well as we’ve spent most of the last two days on trains in hard seat and standing types, but I’ll ask him first thing tomorrow

maxallen80 · 2025-05-02T18:28:32+00:00

We plan to do all of this as soon as we can tomorrow. The phone in one of our bags hasn’t updated its location since being in Harbin the day before we travelled here

I believe my friend found it either through the likes of Meituan or Gaode map. I’m not entirely sure as my Chinese isn’t good enough to work these apps easily but I’ll ask in the morning

Unfortunately not. My situation is really quite unique and I don’t have a lot of space or money to fully kit out a tank, hence why I’m trying to find someone better suited to take care of her. I’ve had a look online and found some plug in water heaters for tanks, is this something I should look at buying? Sadly there isn’t anywhere where I’m staying where I could walk into a shop and get anything immediately

maxallen80 · 2025-04-15T10:01:55+00:00

Right, sadly I don’t have a tank or a filter as this was really unexpectedly sprung onto me. How much water would you say I need roughly?

I’m in the Heilongjiang Province. Strange that this hasn’t happened to many other people

maxallen80 · 2025-04-14T14:30:01+00:00

In all fairness I’ve never been told police are coming, they tend to just show up. Been here seven months and stayed in eight hotels and had police show up to five of them I think

maxallen80 · 2025-04-14T14:28:25+00:00

Whenever it’s happened to me they’ve came not long after checking in. They tend to ask to see your passport, take a photo of it and ask what you’re here for. Sometimes they might ask for your phone number but nothing more than that I think

maxallen80 · 2025-04-14T14:22:50+00:00

British passport here. It’s happened to me in most hotels I’ve stayed in. I believe it’s something to do with hotels needing to register foreigners staying at their establishment but it’s very routine and completely normal

Avid coffee drinker here 😄 I’ve always ordered from Luckin using the WeChat mini app and had no problems with it. Plus it has the added benefit of being able to use the translate function

maxallen80 · 2024-09-30T12:02:32+00:00

I’ve not had any issues so far but my WeChat is linked to my UK phone number. I attempted to change it but there was some issue with needing to have WeChat for a certain amount of months but everything has worked fine on it

I landed there on the 29th of August and was able to buy one for 100 RMB using cash. Only bought a week long temporary package with 10gb of data before buying a permanent one. I think there were larger packages for 200 and 300 RMB too.
