Wudang Shan day 2! It was time to start climbing! We had a choice of taking a cable car up, but we decided to walk up! We had to walk up 6560 steps. It was really tiring but none the less we managed to reached the top. The sense of satisfaction was good when we finally reached the summit. We were all happy and congratulating each other on reaching the top :D hahaha. Enjoy the pictures below! :D

Iron man! i wonder how these China Locals climb up with such a heavy load! But they do it for a living. They sell drinks and items to the shops high up in the mountains at a higher price. Hardwork, but they got no choice.
Along the way up, we stopped at a row of shops. We saw a lock, which our names could be engraved on it and that the person told us that if we locked it at the top of Wudang Shan, it would give us good luck with our friendships and social circle. So we decided to get it despite knowing whether is it true or not. But worth the try! We had nothing to lose anyway :D It was 15yan per lock, but we bargained and ended up paying 6-8yan per lock.

Nearing the top, we saw some temples, and a Tai Chi master reading his book!

This is how high up we climbed, by stairs!
Locking our locks near the summit! :D HUAT AH!
At last we’re at the top! It was really crowded up there, and what amazed me is that a very old lady could even climb up, though she did it really slowly. She was climbing using her hands and legs as she was old and her legs couldn’t support her entirely. She was one tough woman! The air was pretty cold and windy at the top! After awhile it was time for us to head down Wudang Shan. We took 1hour plus to reach the top! Very fast compared to other people, who usually took about 2hour 30minutes to get to the top. So we walked a short distance down, and switched to a cable car to head down the mountain. After that we took a bus to our lunch locations, where they returned us our bags from the hotels too. After lunch, it was time to leave to head back to campus! We all bid farewell to our tour guides and headed back to campus. Once again, another 6 hour bus ride! We sat till our butt cheeks went numb! HAHA. So overall, this Wudang Shan trip was really a very interesting journey for us!

So we're back at the campus! We had a late dinner and went to sleep as we were all tired!
thats all for today :D
REFLECTIONS!
After today, i have learnt how to work as a team, whereby if one lacks behind, we wait for them. When some of us were tired and slowing down, we encouraged them to push on and keep up with the group.
Also, after seeing the hardwork the China locals had to go through even at an old age, it really got me thinking how lucky i am. They have been doing that since young. One of the locals told me he did it since 18years old, which is how old i am now! I can't imagine myself doing that everyday. i would probably just die from fatigue. They are really tough people. I'm also thankful for my parents who are supporting me so well so that i would not have to resort to hard labour for a living.
Thank you mom and dad! :D
