Approaching the Ping An village

After a treacherous drive into the clouds I arrived at the gate to the
Ping An village. Immediately I was swarmed with locals wanting to
carry my packs.

Always happy to support the local economy, I readily agreed. They have
the task to the two tiniest women in town though. This turned out to
be a remarkably good decision on my part as we climbed another 20,000
steps up to my quarters. The one pack weighs 50 pounds, the other
about 30. The smallest woman took the biggest pack with a smile and
never got winded.
