You step into mist as the Taiping cable car lifts you from Tunxi toward granite towers that seem to push through the clouds. Pines cling to cliff edges like watchful neighbors; the Xihai Grand Canyon drops away, daring you to peer into its ink-black folds. Bright Summit and Lotus Peak puncture the skyline; stair-stepped paths and boardwalks thread between them.
