22-03-2009 (Sunday)

Today the weather was not so bad… We need to wake up very early… Meeting at the grand hall at about 6.30am… As usual we are late, no choice to hurry a bit…It really very early for us to be awake at that time… Calling at one another is the best morning call… Luckily, we were all able to be awake…We went to the same restaurant to have my breakfast… The breakfast there was not so bad… They provide for us eggs, porridge, noodles, steamed buns and meat buns too… That was really very delicious… After we finished, we went to the toilet that is outside of the restaurant… The place toilet is much cleaner compared to the one at the restaurant that we see… After then, we went to the Wudang Shan for our second trip.
This time round we got to explore the Jin Ding… Either we take cable car up or we climbed up the mountain… Cable car took about 15minutes to go up the mountain. As for climbing, it took about 2 to 3 hours...



We then intended to take the cable car up the mountain… Queuing for the cable car was very long. There were a lot of people… Some of them even cut the queue for the cable car… Therefore we got to wait for quite some time… In order to prevent them from cutting, we got to close up the gap… Still, they have their way of cutting in… We waited and waited for about 2 hours… At about 11.30am, then is our turn to go up the cable car… Total capacity of the cable car is only 2… We got to be pairs before we can get up… Once we are up there, we went up to the Jin Ding with the tour guide…



On the way up, we saw a group of students from our school… Those who hike to the mountain was actually up the hill earlier than those taking the cable car… When we reached the Jin Ding, we were scared by the height but the scenery from the top was very beautiful and magnificent… We took a few photos from there… About 1 hour later, we walked down the hill… On the way down, we saw some souvenirs and so we bought some home…






Then we went down to meet the other group to take the cable car down… Once we are down, we went to have our lunch which is already 2.30pm… By the time we finished, it was already 3pm and the time we went down the hill took about 50 minutes… After which, we went back to the tour bus and on the way back to school… It was another long journey for us… Another 6 hours till we reached the school… We slept for a while till we reached a service centre which was already 7 plus…



Then we were awake till we reached school… On the way back, the journey was so thrilling… The driver was driving on the opposite side… At about 9.30pm, we finally reached our school… We went straight to purchase our dinner at the road stall… At about 10pm, we went back to the hostel to settle everything and then take our shower and went to bed…

The traffic here was very chaos… When the driver went to the opposite sides, no one ever horn at him and was agree with what he was doing… That maybe acceptable for them to do so… Compared to Singapore, we will be horn like hell when we make such a mistakes because the road sign that is being assigned clearly stated… Overall, we cannot compare with what we are learning in Singapore… The cultures were totally different… In conclusion, I felt safer in Singapore than in China…
