You’ll climb 999 grueling steps to an opening in the mountains considered to be the door to heaven. A cliff collapsed years ago, leaving this more-than-400-foot-tall hole. The number 999 was selected as lucky since the number 9 has the same pronunciation as the word that means “eternal,” or “perpetual,” in Mandarin—which may seem cruelly appropriate to those who attempt the climb. Just to get to the base of the staircase, visitors must first take a cable car that climbs 4,000 feet or a bus along a mountain road so winding it’s been compared to a dragon’s back.
Personally...I think I would charter a small plane and fly right thru that hole.....

Hey....this is cool~ I wanna go to Heaven~
Good Morning Tina - Congrats on being first.
Good Morning Michael - That is fascinating. I have never heard of that place. I don't think I will be visiting it any time soon but it's fun to read about it. Thanks for sharing.
If all it takes to get to heaven is to rent a small plane and fly through the hole then why have I bothered to be so good these 50++++ years. I didn't know there was an easier way.
morning! We have had so much rain overnight and this morning...
I love rain...the flash flood warnings take me back to Tina's wedding.
So beautiful...Tina and Sparky standing there at the alter....then Tina's water broke and 3 of her bridesmaids drowned....
MICHAEL: Cool!! But if I tried to climb those steps..that's right where I'd end up..in Heaven..hopefully.. :D
TINA: 'Grats on Foist! :D
TINKA: LOL..I don't think there is an easier way.. :)
Michael - Where did you get that imagination. It's Heaven sent or is it ----?
We have had so much rain and wind too. We are the only place in Canada that has winter weather. It was 75F in Winnipeg and Ottawa yesterday. We are usually sending them daffodils and bragging about our warm weather. Go figure!
Good Morning Zona - Happy First Day of Spring.
I am glad there is no easier way or I have missed a lot of wild fun these past years and all for nothing!!!
Tina You are looking heavenly this morning. I hope you have an uplifting and spiritual day.
Michael Thanks for the blog. Like Tinka, I don't think I will be visiting there any time soon. When I do go to heaven I think it will be the traditional Western way.
Tinka I have a feeling that climbing 999 steps isn't a requirement.
Zona Can you imagine falling down all those steps? Yikes!
my last post was wasted yestiddy!! I told about one of the highlights of my life and nobody ever came back!!
My Evita party...it was better than Tina's water breaking story...
Has Julia Roberts new movie started yet...you know...the Snow White one...Mirror Mirror.. ???
Michael if you turn the number 999 upside down you get 666. Doesn't that have something to do with Hell? Maybe the hole leads to Hell instead of Heaven. A nice God wouldn't make you climb 999 stairs would they?
Oops, I forgot to Splat!
Splat!
Afternoon beautiful Tina, Tinka, Zona and Just Lin! Afternoon mediocre Michael!
Shirley...
666 is the mark of the beast...the anti-Christ...
