day 24 -武当山.

6am
Ring ring ring! * dismiss my alarm* Wake up in the morning for my Wudang expedition.
7am
Began our 5 hour journey to 武当山
1pm
arrival at Wudang and lunch at a chinese local restaurant before heading to the foot of 武当山 just 3 min away from the restaurant. 

we were distributed our tickets. there is a mini disc inside! cool right!

our first destination was 太子坡 where we were brought to lots of Taoist temple. the journey from the foot of the mountain to this place was about 30min bus ride. The area where we are brought to is the place where sunlight is first cast on on 武当山.where people also gain immortality here last time. 

tea session. The promoter keep telling us to have sip of plain water. and miraculously the water tasted sweet in our throat. 

Our next destination was also a 30 min bus ride. there is a 十方堂 inside to receive taoist from all over the world. Group teacher with the teachers and tour guide. From left: tour guide, ME, miss neo, deputy director


After that place, it was home sweet home to our 3-star hotel call 九龙山庄. It was a very pleasant hotel and definitely much better than the cruise one. 

after lodging in, we gather at 4.50pm at the lobby and were bring on an free and easy walk by the tour guide. Dinner was at 6.30 so we sat down and have ice-cream while contemplating whether we should let the fortune-teller tell our fortune. 

Dinner was at one of the restaurant up on the hill. The dishes was rather salty and not to our liking but we have nothing to lament about putting into consideration that we are high up on the hill where everything was transported up. 

after dinner, it was free and easy. me and my cliques stroll down the street of shops and bought some fried banana chips and ice-cream and headed back to our hotel to restaurant considering the fact that we woke up at 6am to refresh ourselves. Plus we have to get ready for our 武当山 expedition tomorrow

Reflecion: 
I realise that in China, their people hardly queue up to buy food. Just like the same when boarding a bus. they like to push around just to get their place to seat. As compared to Singapore where similar cases can be seen, i think that it would be possible for both country to further improve on this for better etiquette.
