day 25- 武当山.

woke up at 6am to prepare my self and we are to be ready for breakfast at 7am. Breakfast was somehow similar to the one on cruise. Ah, let me show u guys a picture.
Bun, man tou, egg , porridge and soup.

after breakfast, we immediately took our bags and left it at the lobby, return the keys and embark on our 武当山 expedition. 


About there!

this is the steepness of the steps. there are even steeper one. Imagine a two-hour climb with nothing but flight of stairs. it was very tiring and we have to keep motivating ourselves to carry on. When we were about 2/3 there we were already so tired that we never give a though of the price of the food and drinks.

One for me and one for my father

we reached 金顶 which was the peak of the mountain at about 11am. it was a copper house and the best time to view it is actually during dawn when the sun shine on it and produces golden ray of light together with the copper. There are people who carves their name on locks for family peace and forever love ad lock them at metal chains.

this is how the copper house looks like

after taking tons of photo up there, we rush down the mountain as we were already very thirsty, hungry and in need of using toilet. However when we were about to reach our hotel, cynthia vomited and i bought a bottle of mineral water for her. When we were climbing out last few flight of stairs, she suffered from leg cramp and had difficulty moving. And hence, me, wen jie and ling li waited for her. We went to our hotel to take our belongings after that and took the bus down. 

This is basically the reason of why we are late. I am very sorry for delaying the whole group on that day and cause everyone to be so hungry and reached their hostel late. 

we had lunch at a local restaurant at a local chinese restaurant. before heading full speed back to wuhan. 

9.30pm
Home sweet home. time to turn in. Nights

Reflection: when i was climbing the Wudang shan, i learnt that i must motivate my friends to carry on moving and i too have to support them if they need any physical help. Climbing the mountain was very tiring and we need very good stamina to climb to the top. Second thing would be punctuality. Think i don't need to elaborate more as u can see my previous post.
