ndani kyema, My Story - Ray Moore 61
After two or three days on the Yangzi river boat, I and my fellow travellers arrived at
Jiujiang which is about 750 kilometres upriver from Shanghai.
Different views of Jiujiang with Lushan (Kuling) in the background
Getting off the ferry at Jiujiang, we boarded a "bus" which took us to the foot of
Lushan Mountain where Kuling is situated. There was no motor road but only a foot
track up the mountain, so Chinese porters were hired to carry our luggage on
bamboo poles across their shoulders. Some of the older adults, who were unable to
climb the mountain, travelled in sedan chairs carried by four porters The rest of us
walked, and the climb was certainly taxing, especially when we came to "the
thousand steps".
