Say What?? Travel Photo: Lighting

Near the overrated Chinese tourist hot spot of Guilin lies one of its star attractions…the equally overrated “Seven Stars Scenic Area.” Aside from a cave that was illuminated in a rainbow of colors and a whole host of man made “attractions,” there wasn’t a whole lot that impressed me about this place. That is, except this:

Yes, the “Lighting Prone Area.” Just remember that since the area is prone to being lit, you shouldn’t “climbing.”

Now, this is right next to a staircase. I assume what they’re trying to say is that you shouldn’t go off the trail or something because you may get struck with lightning. But lighting up the stairs so someone can see at night is much nicer! Sadly, I didn’t stick around till dark to see if they would light up the area…
