Wuhan City Tour !

12th March 2011

We went to the Wuhan City Tour with Mr.Imran, 2 other lecturers and BA students. Unfortunately, Meiling was sick and cannot join us :( , luckily Mr Puah was willing to stay and take care of her~

First, we went to the East lakes. The scene at there is so amazing!
The lake is very large so we do not have enough time to visit the whole lake ~it takes about one and a half hour by car to do so ~

We took a lot of photos at there :)






Next, we went to the Hubei Museum. I gained a lot of knowledge about Hubei's history after visiting the museum!

There are a lot of ancient things displayed at the museum including gold cup and bowl the king used in the past, the musical instrument the ancient people played, the coffin of their king etc. From all the things they displayed, I can know that the people in the past are very faithful and respect to their king, and the people are categorized into different levels, range from the labours to king and king's family.





After that, we went to a nice restaurant to have our lunch! The food at there is so nice and we felt very full after the meal. Coincidently, we witnessed a Chinese wedding ceremony while we having our lunch. The ceremony is slightly different from Singapore Chinese~ The bride’s dad have to take her hand and hand it to the groom as a sign of asking him to take good care of his daughter. The moment was very touching but this is not commonly practiced by Singaporean.

After the lunch, we went to the Yellow Crane tower, which is the symbol of Wuhan. It consists of 9 levels but we can only see 5 levels from outside.
We climbed to the top of the Yellow Crane Tower by around 20 minutes, the view from top was really breathtaking! We can see the whole Wuhan town from here!



At around 3 pm we continue our journey to the next destination which is the Jiang Han road! There are a lot of shopping malls at there, however, I did not buy anything as the things sold at there are quite expensive~





We gathered at 5 pm and go back our dormitory to rest after a tiring day. It was nice to travel around Wuhan today  However, today I realised that most of the people living here have smoking habit, I can see people smoking everywhere. I guess it is probably because of the cold weather ~However, smoking is not good for their health so I hope that the people will not smoke so frequently when it turns warmer.
So, these are all for today! Good night people!
