Take the Stairs Day Jan 12, 2022

Take the Stairs Day

In honor of Take the Stairs Day, we"re here in China"s Guizhou province peering over at Mount Fanjing. Visitors will need to climb almost 9,000 steps to reach the summit of the mountain, the highest peak of the Wuling Mountains. Look closely at the image and you can see how the stairs wind up, up, up around stone outcroppings and through a gorge.
