We were told that there are approximately 7,000 steps if we were to do a complete loop round the SanQing Shan mountains.
7,000 steps going up and down seem to be a lot to me.
I can walked for miles on trials without steps but was a bit worried about the mentioned number of steps before the trip.
In the end, I don’t think there are as many as 7,000 steps. I was happy that I have climbed up long – unending – flights of steps which made me panting and walked down many steps with the assistance of a walking stick. This is the first time that I have resorted to the use of walking stick.
On the right hand top part of the first photo are the seemingly endless steps ( they are not that obvious from the photo.
Michael–you have my undying admiration!
Many thanks for your always kind words, Loisajay!
7000 steps – oh my aching knees!
I am sure it is less than 7000 steps! No worries.
Congrats on completing the journey. I’ll bet it was beautiful along the way.
It was good exercise and also a good place for taking photos!
Good for you climbing those stairs! Don’t worry about using a walking stick – it’s good for your upper body strength 🙂
Thanks for the encouragement! As we age, there will be hills we can no longer climb, even with the assistance of walking sticks!
That’s a lot of steps, Michael. Well done.
Good luck with your site and thank you so much for stopping by mine to post a like. I appreciate it.
Keep up the good work.

Hi Nick, you are welcome. Climbing down the steps could be damaging to the knee joints. . . .
Wow!!! This place looks amazing! A grand effort! Definitely a walking stick venue! : ))
It helps a lot on climbing down the steps too!
