Camel Hill

fake waterfall

there were 4 people who were taking their time posing and taking pictures (we think they were photography students)....finally they got the hint and let us go ahead to take a picture. they took this one for us.

down to the Seven Star Cave

at first, we thought we got ripped off because it cost us 65 RMB for the cave admission and we went through a cave--and the sign said Seven Star Cave--and it took maybe a minute to get through.
