day 26 & 27 - Wudang Shan Mountain

We all gathered at 6.30am in the morning. Wanted to bath and send some e-mail back home but there was no electricity. Not wanting to be late, we all move on to our usual meeting place.

We had a long 7 hours ride to Wudang Shan Mountains. Most of our empty stomachs were finally filled up with good a lunch after we reached.

Welcome to Wudang Mountain

Breakfast+Lunch

It was raining after we had our lunch and so i bought a rain coat for myself

Wudang Mountain

I thought the weather would be cold up on the mountain so I wore 3 layers of clothes. But due to the stairs we climb to our first scenic spot the Prince Temple I got warmed up.

Lucky enough to have my friend telling me about the story of the Prince Temple who been there last week as I did not really understand what the tour guide was trying to explain. Thanks BK. So roughly, I knew part of it before climbing up.

All of us got to try the different kind of Chinese teas for free. I’m a person who appreciates Chinese tea as I would always company my Dad for tea every afternoon while in Indonesia. I bought one for him though which I found the tastiest among all.

"when you are in the scenic spot the fireproofing must be recorded in your heart"

"Smoking is strictly forbidden in this fire prevention area!"

"Better to prevent fire than to water fire"

My Reflection:
Climbing the Wudang Shan Mountain was not an easy task. It consists of around 6500 steps to reach the peak. As it was not a race, quite a number of us actually take our time, taking photos and enjoying the sceneries. We played and cracked joke along the climb and that actually helps to forget the tiredness in us. One of my group members Daniel, was ahead of me. He asked for many days of rest after he joined us for a PT session last week. And so I always thought that he would give up on his way up. But to my surprised, I could not even catch up with him. He was far far ahead of me and only until I reached the peak, then I saw him. Good job Daniel.
He said he wanted to give up during the climb but the support from his surrounding friends had actually motivated him so much that he never.

The encouragement and support of friends can really have a very powerful effects on one’s ability to overcome challenges.
