07-03-2009(Saturday)










Today was a very enjoyable day because we are going to a very attractive place known as the Yellow Crane Tower. (黄鹤楼) Before we went there, we first visit some of Hubei-Wuhan tourist attraction. Firstly, we went to the Dong Hu. (东湖)We went there to see the natural scenery of the surrounding… The place was very beautiful… It was surrounded by lakes at both the end… The air was very fresh and cooling… It was like Downtown East where there had a lot of amusement park…


After visiting Dong Hu, we took about 10 minutes ride to a museum… The place was full of ancient things which archaeologist tried to find it underneath the ground…



The things were soaked in water for many years till now they have found most of the ancient things and they were very carefully preserve it in the museum… We were at museum till 11.50am after which we went to have our lunch at Hongbu Street…









The place sold all the local dishes which were very well- known in their province… Their famous dish is known as the Re Gan Mian (热干面) and the Fried Bean Sheet… After 1 hour, we take a stroll to Huang He Lou.(黄鹤楼) It was very near Hongbu Street that I do not even know… Slowly then I understand where we were going… At the place, there were a lot of poems that was left behind by Li Bai (李白), a famous poet… Of course the most famous thing was still the Huang He Lou…
The tower is equal to 10 storeys of our HDB flats. Inside there a total of five sections divided into different places… It was very grand in it… There also has a wall of painting which we got to climb up the stairs to have a clearer look of the painting… Next, we climbed up slowly to have a look at all the section which was slowly being brief by our tour guide…There was also a section where we can see a total of five different look of the tower in different dynasty… After touring the tower, we were given our own time to explore the tower… After which we went back to our tour bus and head back to school…


When we reached school, we were very curious of going to some where to buy cheap products…The next day will be a Sunday which is time for us to shop and rest at our own time…


I observed that the traffic here was very messy… It was not very organized as the vehicles just drive it own way… When there was someone crossing the road, they will just press their horn as if the road belongs to them causing us to walk faster… Sometimes it really a nuisance for the driver to do that… Still, it may be their culture and we cannot do much… The next observation was to find out lot of place for us to shop, eat and enjoy as we still have a lot more weeks to go… Haha…
