It's 8.30 am and I'm halfway up a mountain. Gazelle-like octogenarian Chinese men bound past me, one hefting a chunky grandchild over one shoulder and casting a curious, vaguely pitying, look over the other at the out-of-breath laowai peering up against the sunlight in desperate hope of spotting a plateau or two. Preferably, one with a comfy chair and a footbath.
