We have to take several buses to reach the Golden Peak of the mountain, we were 2000m above the sea level! Can you imagine how great it was? The view from the peak of the mountain was just breath-taking!I felt peace and relax.
At the Golden Peak!!
After that, we walked further down to explore the Golden Peak. To my surprise, we saw snow!!It was my very first time to see snow and feel it!
photo taken with snow!
My observations
Maybe it is because that day was Saturday, the bus we took was very crowded. We must push all the way to get ourselves up so that we have the chance to board the bus.If not, we will be leave behind! Everyone was pushing no matter young or old, just to get onto the bus. If we show mercy to others,we have to sacrifice ourselves,it was like the scene of war.Our tour guide kept asking us to push no matter how hard, so that we can get a place. I seriously disagree with the habit of these people as this kind of actions will only cause chaos in the crowd and may cause injuries or the kids will be lost with their parents. This is not a good way for elderly too! They are already old and cannot afford to fall down. I hope that this bad habit can be changed some day and the people can queue nicely before boarding the bus so it will be more convenient and organised.In Singapore, people queue for almost everything! For example, queue for the toilet,to buy food, to wait for the bus etc. So, I hope that the people here can take up this good habit and not to cut queue or push others when taking a bus or whatever.
The next day, before going to Wudang Shan, we were teached by a coach to do Tai Chi early in the morning! It was a nice experience! Tai Chi combines physical exercises, relaxation and breathing exercises to give a peaceful mind. We repeated the Tai Chi movements for a few times and we decided to teach Mr Imran the Tai Chi movement we learnt after we go back to WUST as he was not there with us.
After a refreshing start of the day, we started our journey to Wudang Shan! We have to take cable car to reach the peak of the mountain! It was exciting but also frightening in the same way. Me and Camellia screamed all the way when we were taking the cable car up!
When we reached the peak of the mountain, I was taken aback by the huge crowd of people! In order to make our way out, what we can do is just push and push! For the sake of getting up to the peak, we pushed each other until we reached the peak of the mountain. I felt very bad for being so inconsiderate as I normally will not do this in Singapore. It takes about 1 hour for us to go up to the peak although it was only a very short journey. I nearly lost my way and got lost from my gang !
Finally. we reached the peak of Wudang Shan! The scene was amazing~
At the peak of Wudang Shan, there are a few temples. Our tour guide kept reminding us not to take photos of the gods. I do not know the reason behind it but I guess it is probably to show respect to the god. All the temples are very crowded and this has shown that people in China are very loyal to their god. I can see a lot of people praying to the gods inside the temple we visited.
This ends my journey to the Wudang mountain! I was very enjoyed throughout the trip and had discovered some new cultures in China!
Bye Bye blog! Good night! :D
hi, thank you for writing a blog on your trip to Wudang Shan. My family and I are planning to visit the same place, while googling I came across your blog. Hey, would you mind me asking which travel agency you went with for this trip? Thanks again!
