Weather was poor

The weather was poor and not suitable for the trip. Ideally the tour agency would have cancelled it as while the weather seemed acceptable in the city, the weather in the mountain was wet, windy and virtually no visibility - which the guide knew was the case.

Unforgettable climb up Mt Qixing

Our guide Kelvin was excellent, despite the bad weather, he has made the climb up Qixing Mt an unforgettable and enjoyable experience for my family, he was always alert and ensure we can climb up and go through the whole journey safely albeit the rain and strong winds. He was well behaved prepared for the situation too, help to take photo and record our journey up and down.
