Day 12 is here! We all woke up early as we had to gather at about 7:15am! After we boarded the bus, majority of us practically fell asleep while the poor tour guide was talking to us. After awhile, we reached a Lake which was known for its awesome scenery. So we were given time to look around. Below are some of the pictures we took at the lake!
Entrance of the Lake
Saw an old man using a long stick to push the lake bed to make his boat move. Looked like some real hardwork going on! He did not have a proper paddle to row his boat.

Some cool piece of rock that we saw. Mingyu, Me, Chongsian(Left to right)

I'm a statue too!
Squatting on a tree just by the lake
After taking pictures at the lake for an hour plus, we gathered back on the bus and headed to a museum! It was a short ride from the lake to the museum, but everyone was so tired, so once again, a lot of us slept on the way there. After awhile, we reached the museum! Below are some of the pictures :) A lot of cool stuff in there such as the weapons used last time in China as well as artifacts from last time.
Entrance of the museum
Mingyu, Roy, Me, Chongsian(left to right) just outside the museum. It was pretty big.
The entrance of the second part of the museum! 
I'm a soldier without armor or weapon!
After awhile, it was free and easy for us to explore the museum. However, some of us(including me) were so tired, that we went to the chairs placed outside the museum and ended up dozing off :P

After the museum, we headed for lunch at some street which looked like China Town Street! The food there was pretty delicious, but we only had about 45minutes to eat, therefore we couldn't enjoy much and ended up eating just a little bit.
Roy and me on the bus, heading to our lunch area.
When we got off the bus, we took a 5minute walk to the street! Along the way, i saw a woman trying to sell some mini watermelons, using her bicycle as a stall.
At last, Shou Garden Snack Street!
When i got there, i bought the card in order to purchase food. As soon as i got my card, i headed to the first stall to buy some Xiao Long Bao as i haven't eaten it in ages!
Here comes our Xiao Long Bao :)
More food we ordered!
Even more food! :D
After eating, we were not very full. But we were happy as the food was pretty delicious. So we headed back to the gathering area. Then we saw our tour guide eating some interesting fruit that looked like grapes. She ended up giving us some to try and it tasted like water chestnut.
What our tour guide gave us
After peeling off the green skin!
So after gathering, we started walking towards the Yellow Crane tower!

After a 10minutes walk, we reached the entrance of Yellow Crane Tower!
So we started to walk in bit by bit as the tour guide talked and explained to us about the many different things seen along the way. When we reached the tower, we climbed up level by level to take a look at what they had. The tower was pretty cool as it gave u a bird's eye view to the area around the Yellow Crane Tower, and also, it was very windy! Shiok!
Me, at the top of the yellow crane tower!
Group picture with the guys inside the top of the tower
Another group picture :) Inside the yellow crane tower, next to some pillar.
After awhile, we started to head down the Yellow Crane Tower to take some pictures.
Jump shot at the bottom of the Yellow Crane tower

Chong sian, Me, Roy, Edy, Mingyu(Left to right)! Not too far away from the yellow crane tower.
After walking opposite the Yellow Crane tower, We saw a giant bell which was there for people to pay to hit the bell, believing it would give them good luck or something like that. Also, below the big bell, is a small container. It was meant for people to try to throw coins into the container after making a wish or something.
Apparently, a lot of people missed the container :P
Edy and me, Beside the giant bell!
Me, on top of some wall of words!
Group picture with the guys, just infront of the bell
They look more like they want to push me down! :P
More group pictures!
We came across a mini bridge and decided to take a picture on it :)
Right infront of Mao Zedong's statue. i think. HAHA.
A cool name for a bank :P
Some painting inside the yellow crane tower

Me, and the wonderful view :)
This was how high the tower was. Cannot really see the bottom!

This was how high the tower was. Cannot really see the bottom! After the yellow crane tower visit, we headed back to the hostel! As we were too tired, most of us had dinner and headed to bed early as we were going out early to a park, followed by a giant shopping district in Wuhan the next day.
REFLECTION!
After today, i've learnt that though life gets hard sometimes, as long as we hang in there we will be able to pull through. After seeing the lady trying to hard to sell her watermelons on the bicycle, as well as the old man rowing his boat, it really taught me that. Though her life of going around selling watermelons was not easy, she was able to get through it day after day. Also, for the old man using a stick to push his boat, he was able to get it moving even without a proper paddle. Just that it was a little bit harder than usual. So i myself must press on when the going gets tough!
