Entering another watch tower

 

 

Great view from the opening from the inside of the watch tower.

 

We are almost at the end of the walk as we can see watch tower 20 on top of the mountain

 

 

View of the watch tower.

 

Steep climb to get to the watch tower 20.

 

A few more watch towers before reaching watch tower 20.

 

One of the last few watch tower.

 

Entering watch tower.

 

The interior of the watch tower.

 

Here you can really see how steeps the steps are to the top.

 

 

 

 

 

Last watch tower before getting to the top

 

The interior is narrow.

 

 

The exit is so narrow that it can only fit 2 people at the time ( 1 going up and 1 going down).

 

We are now at the bottom of the stairs.

 

A lot of people are walking up.

 

Kevin, Kristie and David decided to go all the way up (450 steps).

 

Hoa and I decided to wait for them at the bottom of the stairs.

 

There are so many people climbing up...

 

Kevin and Kristie going down after completing the 450 steps up.

 

We are now done with the walk and we are now staying in line to return back.

 

The only way to get out of this area is an underground tunnel that can only fit 2 people at the time.

 

View of the tunnel to get in and get out.  There is room for 1 person to go up and 1 person to go down.

 

Going back to tower 19

 

 

Walking back....

 

We are now close to the gondola station to take us down

 

Lots of stairs to get there...

 

Gondola station

 

     

Nice and relaxing ride down

 

We are now at the bottom of the mountain and on our way to the exit.

 

It is still a way to get to exit

 

 

Staying in line to get to the bus station

 

Huge line but it is moving fairly fast.

 

So many people lining up to get the bus..

 

We are now at the Market road where there are a lot of restaurants.

 

We bought Burger King for lunch

 

We are now finally at the exit of the park.

 

 

Following David to our Van so we can get to the Forbidden City.
