Day 26 began really early! We gathered at 6:30am to head off to Wudang Shan by bus. It was a long tiring 6-hour ride from our campus to Wudang Shan. But since we got up really early, all of us ended up sleeping in the bus.When we arrived, it was still raining. So some of us went to purchase ponchos from a shop as we had to tour 3 sites on foot at the bottom of Wudang Shan, and climb up only the next day. So after we had lunch, we went to board the bus and headed to our first destination called 太子坡. Some pictures are below, with captions on top!

A small CD inside, all about Wudang Shan
At last, we finally reached! It was a short 15-20minutes bus ride. After walking for a bit, we were told to rest in a tea house whereby they served us tea to drink. After that if we liked the tea, we could purchase it from their shop. It was a new experience for me as I have never went for tea tasting before. Altogether, we tried 3 different types of teas. After drinking the 3 tea, we were told that if we drank water it would taste sweet, and true enough it did! Cool stuff there. The pictures are below! :)

Pretty nice view.
Tea tasting time!
After leaving the first destination, we took the bus again to the next 2 destinations which were called 紫霄宫 and 玄帝殿. As usual, we walked around and toured the place. After that we checked in at our hotel for the night. It was pretty good and comfortable! Had dinner and went back to our rooms for an early night as the next day would be tiring.
At the Second destination!

At the base of Wudang Shan! But we were only going to climb the next day :)
Finally we've reached!
Thats all for Wudang Shan day 1! More to come! :D
REFLECTIONS!
After today, i have learnt that fitness is very important for us! We should all keep fit so that in times like these, whereby we have to climb and walk for long distances, we would not find it difficult! I learnt this as i saw many people walking up and feeling very exhausted. Also, comparing the hotel conditions in China and Singapore, it is really different. But i'm glad that we at least have a roof over our heads. This has made me realise that i have finally learnt how to appreciate and be contented with what i have and realise how lucky i am to have such a good home and living conditions back in Singapore.
