At the summit of the Da Hei Shan (The Big Black Mountain)



It's a beautiful day here in Dalian. A group of 15 of us from IBM decided to take a hiking trip to Da Hei Shan (The Big Black Mountain) which is located about 30 Km north of Dalian. It is nearby the Dalian New Development Zone where many major international companies are establishing their manufacturing facilities. The major Dalian University in this New Development Zone is at the feet of the mountain. It took us over 3 hours to hike to the top of this mountain of about 700m (~2000 ft) elevation. There were so much natural rocks along the way. We overcame the many difficult trecherous terrains. At the top of the mountain is the headquarter of the military general who directed the many battles very long time ago. They called it "The city of the big black mountain". I found some very neat temples along the way down from the top of the mountain. Overall, it's an enjoyable expedition with the group. We all made it to the top and back safely.
