My attempt to get the the Tunpu Village of Tianlong today turned into a bit more of an adventure then planned. I started by taking a photo of a page from trip adviser which lists the address in Chinese, In my hung over state I thought that with this alone I would be able to get a taxi directly their and avoid the bus station. When I was dropped off I looked around and decided that this area didn't look at all like what I was expecting, after asking a bakery shop owner it was explained to me that the address was here, but the name was not. According to him the only way out of where I was at was by motorbike.
My conversation with the nearest motorbike driver gave me the impression he could take me somewhere with a temple, considering my lack of other options this sounded great, and who knows maybe this is a temple at Tianlong I thought. As we finally pulled up to the attraction, what I saw did not look bad at all: A temple, sitting atop a tall thin cone shaped mountain, surrounded at the base by an ancient Ming dynasty village (Turns out this was called Yunfeng Tunpu). The motorcycle driver offered to wait for me while I visited however I decided to pay him and find my own way back, in order to avoid him making up some outrageous number for his rate later.
