I searched online and found a nearby attraction, a mountain and temple near Linzhou and so decided to give it a visit, I found a taxi and showed him the address and drove through the morning fog to get there. I took the drivers namecard so I could call him for a lift when I wanted to go back. Getting to a big carpark I found... one car there!
I paid my entrance fee and walked in, walking up through snowy hills and snowy temples. In one temple I rang the bell, and hit the drum, and then walked out past a (Chinese only) sign saying it was 100 rmb a ring! that was £200 I'm glad I didn't spend!
The area was beautiful, at one point I had a view from the side of a dam over an ice covered reservoir with the sun peaking through the clouds, and a small deserted temple, and the best bit was a beautiful view over the valley with the sun behind, I took many many photos!
