Huangshan

Huangshan

   Our group of 12 visited Huangshan 26 Aug 1985 to 29 Aug 1985. At that time tourists are supposed to use only the Foreign Exchange Currency for transaction in China. However our group leaders make effort to get Renminbi so that it is easier to buy goods and services from locals.

Below are photographs of my tour to Huangshan in 1985.
