Day 26 - 武当山, Pre-training for the climb!Wednesday, October 13, 2010 8:05 PM(9th oct 2010) Hello People! It's finally the day we are going to visit 武当山, the lengendary moutain where martial arts comes in. It's filled with rich history, mixed with Taoist culture and lore. It's also well known as "the first famous mountain under heaven" There are many places to visit, such as Purple Cloud Place, Taizi Po, Yuanhe Guan.. All with their own fascinating story behind them. However, if you did not experience to reach the summit, You will be wasting your trip to 武当山. Time check: 6.45am All of us gathered to board the bus together. I had this for my breakfast. What a good breakfast to start the day.LOL  With my breakfast and my movies as entertainment, we all embarked for our 5hours plus bus ride to 武当山. Seriously, this journey is either you walk alot, or you sit alot. Time check: 12.40pm We finally reached our destination. We had our lunch at a hotel (Not the one we are going to stay in) We are only going to check-in, in the evening/night time.. So before we check-in, Few places are awaiting for us to explore. Some interesting shops found.. I felt like we're in some martial arts world already   This is the place where we will buy our tickets in order to go 武当山  This is the bus that's gonna bring us around throughout this trip  After all the climbing session, It's time we enjoy free tea(:   Close up of the tea  And i bought this! Believe it or not, After you drank this tea, the water will become sweet(:  Trying to act like how ancient people drink their tea  Smile(:  Next stop, We are heading to 紫云宫   Look! Foreigners learning martial arts.. They are learning the traditional Taoist martial arts, TAI JI(太极） Even foreigners are interested in chinese martial arts, look at how serious they are  All of them doing warm up exercises   It's really fascinating, watching a group of foreigners learning chinese martial arts  Look! There's even sedan here..  And we walked down the stairs.. And up again.  Looking at beautiful sceneries   A picture of me    This is a real well..It's pretty deep.  Here we are at Tian Yi Hu , And this is a wishing tree  Saw the whole stretch of locks? Each and every locks contains blessing from different people  After all the tiring climbs of endless stairs, we are finally going back to check in our hotel(:  Welcome to our room 3018  A picture of our comfy bed~  There's even tea provided for us(:  Our toilet!  Time to do some shopping for food for tml's climb  Almost forget to intro my roommate, Brenda!  It was really a tiring day for us today. After the 5 hours plus long bus ride, and visiting different places of 武当山straightafter, had really drained 99.9% of my energy. Just like the cruise trip, We get to enjoy beautiful sceneries and get close to the mother of nature. However, it's alittle different this time round. where we also get close to the chinese martial arts. KUNGFU! Despite the long bus journey, no one grumbled and regretted about coming to 武当山. Everything becomes so worthwhile, as you unfold the wonders of this place. I get to enjoy the tea from 武当山, enjoy beautiful sceneries, And yes! Exercise to the max! There is no way i can experience this in Singapore.. And the hotel room is fantastic!! (: Anticipate for my next post, As i bring you to the summit of 武当, 金顶. I shall post two more pictures to end this post.. Support chinese martial arts! 把它发扬光大吧！   |
