Anyway, still a great view on a great landscape! I had better luck when I was in Meili Shan last Octobre (fantastic weather for one week), croweded as well, but people in the GH were really friendly and helpful.
Are you still on the road now?
I tried to follow you on Google Maps, but I find it very difficult to find the places. I wish to travel in China again, after Yunnan last time, it will be Sichuan the next time, next spring perhaps.

Not on the road any more -this was a brief trip last October. It was actually Plan B as Yading was also terrible weather at that time.
