day6 lu lin zhai

today as usual we woke up at 8am for breakfast at the hotel restaurant we had porridge and buns. then we headed to lu lin zhai which was a war site for the Chinese anti government rebels.trekking up the steep slope looking at the war flags and figurine soldiers we saw yet another view of mount lu lin. at the peak of the mountain there were loads of activities happening , there was horse ridding ,archery as well as performance by the locals. i tried the at the archery and went to watch the performance. i was amazed by the performance done by the locals.After lu lin zhai we went to another mountain named luo tuo feng which means camel peak , we took a mini bus up the steep slope then walk towards the temple situated on the peak of the mountain. some of us prayed at the temple while the others waited outside then we proceeded up camel peak there was 3 trials to pass before reaching the peak. Passing the last trail "yi xian tian" we were able to see the other side of the moutaint, we begun our descend to the car park where we waited for the bus. We had our last meal at lu lin then we were on our way back to the hostel.


the gates to lu lin zhai




soldiers keeping a lookout for enemies


the place the troops hung their laundry

war flags in the past


a mega sized mosquito i found


the last trial stairway to heaven


look how narrow the passage is


my reflection

my reflection for today is to be contented with what we have. i realise that in Singapore i have taken the transport system for granted always complaining about how packed the bus is, why is the bus not coming , why is the fare so expensive but now in Wuhan i feel that the transport system have to be further improved as compared to Singapore. traveling from one end to the other end of Singapore would take 2hours by bus but in china it could take days . just by traveling to lu lin made me realise that the transportation system is good in Singapore and we should cherish these privileges given to us instead of complaining.
