Teahouse of the August Moon
One Wong slip and it's Sayonara for you!

1st - Take the cable car up to the start of the trail...


Now follow the path...


Be sure to hold on to the railing...


Keep an eye on the person in front of you...


Be very careful when passing someone going in the opposite direction...


Now just up a few steps. (They are on the left side in the picture)...


Gets a little steeper here - so put your toes in the holes...


A few more steps to go...


Finally in sight, the Teahouse (hostel)!


Would you dare hike to this Teahouse?
How'd they get that building material up there?
I'd go almost anywhere for a pint - but a cup of tea? Forget it...
