Today we had to be up early again to get breakfast and check out before heading back down the mountain. Several of us woke up very early to see the sunrise, but all we saw was rain and mist. It was actually more creepy than cool, mostly because the group I got up with (Gonzy, Lauren, Lydia, Vidy, and I) all went out to an overlook in up in the dark forest at 4:00. But, we did find out that there is a large population of Mockingbirds on Yellow Mountain.
After we came back, we got dressed, packed up, and went down to breakfast before leaving. We headed for the cableway.

We climbed up from the hotel, and after several minutes of hard climbing we crested the ridge and it was a short run down the other side to the cable car station. We headed back down, and it turns out that the up and down cables are different, and that the down cable runs faster than the up cable. So we managed to collect at the bus top station before heading back to the transfer station. From there we boarded the bus before heading back to get our luggage and then get lunch.
After lunch we made the return journey to Suzhou. During the trip, we made two pit stops again, and some of us watched Mamma Mia. We got caught in traffic around Suzhou, but made it back in time for dinner.
