Day 26: Weekend Trip (Mount Wudang)

Day number 26. Woke up very early in the morning as we will be going for a 2D1N Mount Wudang trip. Woke up at around 5am in the morning, prepared, packed our stuffs and off we go to meet up with the rest. There was a blackout in the campus at around 3 plus in the morning and thus, we have to do our stuffs in total darkness!

After some time of waiting, off we go, heading for Mount Wudang, 武当山! The journey from campus to Wudang is approximately around 6 hours. As usual, most of us fell asleep on the bus almost immediately after we set off. Took a rest as we head off for Mount Wudang. After some rest, we went on with some games such as cards and finger guessing games as we were all getting bored from the long bus journey.

After the long journey, we finally reach our destination, Wudang. Upon reaching Wudang, we headed to one of the hotels which we had our lunch there before we head off to our first place of attraction, the Prince Temple and the Prince's Study. Here are some of the photos taken at the first place of attraction!

Long way up the stairs!






After visiting the second place of attraction, we headed to our hotels first as we were running out of time. Thus, we headed to the hotel, put our stuffs down and hurriedly headed off to our third attraction. Here are some of the photos of our hotel rooms and the attraction!

My Reflection:

After visiting the few places of interest which we had today, I realised that we should appreciate and treasure the nature as well as the national heritage more. This is because these are the places where we can learn and experience something which we could not have in our everyday lives. By understanding the history and culture behind these places, we will understand better the heritage of the place as well as the country as a whole. This certainly enhance our knowledge and exposure to the world around us.

"We treasure our heritage and take pride in shaping our own unique way of life."
