After having lunch, we took the shuttle bus to Mt. Laoshan. There were many carvings and sculptures on the both sides of the road. The bus went up to 800 meters high and we got off at the square.

It was raining a little bit at the beginning, but it soon lit up.



There was a ropeway facility, but we all walked to the mountain. Actually, Mt. Laoshan is quite a big mountain, and it takes a whole day if we walked the full course.

The trails of Mt. Laoshan were all made of stone steps, just like Mt. Taishan. However, the landscapes of Laoshan were more natural than those of Taishan. There were no peddlers at all on Mt. Laoshan.

We could see cherry blossoms in full bloom. I also noticed “yellow”violets here and there.

At beginning, I was rather slow. As I walked up, I could catch up with the main group of AhToSan. Mt. Matsumoto always walked by me.

When we reached at Xiantian Bridge, we joined the main group. Then we had a little rest at Luhe Pavillion. Mr. Matsumoto and I drank Qingdao beer and coffee there. It was about 3:30 p.m. (We began walking at 1 p.m.)

We walked down exactly the same way. I usually good at downslope hike. So we could came back to the squre at 4:50 p.m. The last member came down at 5:10 p.m.

Later, I heard that those who came down late went much further than we did . No wonder they were late. I wish I could come here again in the future, and walk the full course of this beautiful mountain.

[We all came down to the square by 5 p.m.全員5時に広場まで下山した。모두 5시까지 광장으로 하산했다.]

We came down by the shuttle bus and had supper at the same restaurant as we had lunch. After having supper, we went to the last hotel, “Century Cultre Hotel.”

[A toast for the success of the hiking, ハイキングの成功を祝って乾杯！하이킹의 성공을 축하해서 건배!]

The grade of the hotel is 4 stars, yet we had to submit all our passports. It was a bit surprise for me. They say if there were any trouble with the hotel, they keep our passports, unless we follow their demand.

The hike was my 28th hike for this year. As for the AhToSan regular hike registration, same as Taishan, it was my 238th hike with AhToSan.

昼食後、廬山行きのシャトルバスに乗り換え、海抜800メートル地点までバスで上がった。この道路沿いには見事な彫刻が多数ある。

そこはロープウェーの下駅にもなっていたが、我々はロープウェーは使わず、徒歩で登山開始。

崂山のハイキングコースはループ状だが、一周すると一日コースなので、それはあきらめ、３分の１ほど登って、戻ってくるコースにした。



崂山の登山路も泰山同様階段ばかりだが、景観は崂山の方が良い。道の両側には桜が咲き、きれいだ。足元には黄色いスミレがよく目についた。

当初の登りは遅れ気味だったが、途中から本隊に追いつき、前後しながら進んだ。

先天橋を過ぎて一方交通の展望台(六合亭)で大団体になり、間食休憩をとった。松本さんと私は持参した青島ビールとコーヒーを飲んだ。

ここからの下りは泰山同様、楽勝で下った。松本さんはロープウェイに乗りたがったが、こちらは4時で営業終了だった。

ガイドが待つシャトルバス乗り場には4時50分に到着。他のメンバーを待つ時間の余裕がたっぷりあったので、周囲の写真も撮ったし、他のメンバーの写真も撮った。

最後に降りてきたのはトワ夫婦とカッチで、彼らは半周地点の展望台まで進んだと言う。さすがというほかはない。

シャトルバスで崂山から下り、昼食をとった同じレストランで夕食を食べた。

夕食後、バスでホテルへ移動。ホテル名は「世紀文華酒店」で青島の海岸近く。できて1年ほどの新しいホテルで施設もよく、室内も広い。しかし、全員のパスポートをとりあげて預けなければならないと言うのは驚いた。

今回の半日コースの登山は今年28回目、アトサンの定期登山は238回目で、前回と変わらず。
