"We're here."
It was a little past five in the afternoon. The two guides, dragging and hauling, managed to get Liu Jinghui onto a small plateau by the edge of a cliff.
He was getting on in years and could keep up with the first half of the mountain trail but was virtually collapsing like a dead dog for the latter half.
Of course, in Liu Jinghui's own words, he was just "too tired from driving yesterday."
Jiang Yuan was equally exhausted. Taking advantage of the dying light of the sunset, he quickly snapped a series of photos and observed the surroundings carefully before the sky rapidly darkened.
Jiang Yuan then helped prepare for camping. His Level 2 camping skills finally came into play. Although not as at ease as the two guides, it still significantly sped up their overall progress.
