Emei Shan - The Western mountain

Arrived at the Teddy Bear Hostel at the base of Emei Shan which has nice rooms with a private loo, is very clean and a great café (and yes, there is a teddy bear in every room).

For dinner, we found an open-air restaurant-street nearby with tanks and tubs full of fish, frogs, crayfish and snails next to each business. Having ordered the fish at one of them, our waitress pointed to a chub-like fish in a tank and with our consent, fished it out and plonked it on the scales.

The lucky winner was back on our table within 15 minutes while the others in the tank looked on. Now that’s what you call fresh fish!

This frog decided to make a break for it!
