华山 Huashan, a challenge must be completed!

In China, there’s a saying: 爬山涉水 (pá shān shè shuǐ), which means “to climb mountains and wade through rivers.”It’s a metaphor for enduring hardships and pushing through challenges to reach a beautiful outcome.

Trekking feels the same to me. It tests you both physically and mentally. You endure the long trail, feel the fatigue, and yet—when you finally reach the top—there’s a deep sense of calm and peace as you take in the vastness.

I’m really glad that I conquered Mount Hua (华山). It’s something a little unconventional to do before I turn 30.#huashan #chinatrip
