in the beginning when all was chaos,and heaven and the earth were swirling together, Pan Gu was born and promptly set about seperating the grou8nd from and the sky. After 18000 years he died of exhausting and the both were seperated. As his body disintegrated his eyes became the sun and the moon,his blood rivers and his head and limbs became the five sacred taoist mountains of china,tai shan among them. this is the southern and last gate to heaven. 6660 steps to the top in 8.5h. i was supposed to camp on the highest point,so i did but the thunderstorm came in the night and fought for his rights. my tent broke down,the water found its way into the tent so hold the tent with one hand and grapped my stuff. the thunder which found contact just 50m next to me made my decision easy, to leave immediatly. the worse i had to leave my beloved tent which accompanied me since the first days. i didn;t find an descent replace yet. RIP they told i was the first known camper who tried this.
