Last Sunday, the rainny weather finally turned to sunny. I decided to visited Piled Silk Hill again. I remembered that last time when I visited it was several years ago.

It is one of the many superstitious practices all over China. By taking a stick to support a big leaning rock, people believe that this practice will help to make their waist or back stronger. I contributed one stick to support a rock in a famous mountain many years ago, but it did not work for me very well.
