Day 27 - 2nd Day of 武当山

October 10, 2010 continued from yesterday wudang tour. Today Is the real challenge for us because we are all going to climb to 武当山highest peak call the 金顶(jin ding). This is the highest part of the whole 武当 which requires alot of energy and hours of climbing in order to reach there. I heard that it's roughly 4-5km up the mountain! So in order to make in on time, we woke up at 6am, breakfast at 630am and set off to the mountain at 7++am.

Starting of the journey is still okay for me as it's not that tiring but as we have walked for 1hour ++ and as we goes on, the steps are getting steeper and steeper which makes us more and more tiring . Here are some of the pictures! See the whole journey of the walking...

More steps and continue climbing after 2hours...

See the red house? That's 金顶!

This is a beautiful !

Finally Reached the top

After that, we all climb down the mountain Asap because we are very hungry. After lunch , we took the coach back to hostel and this marks the end of our 武当tour. Well pretty sad that such nice memories ended so fast...Hopefully i am able to see it and experience again next time .... cya all !

Self-Reflection :

In this wudang trip, i have seen alot of elderly people climb up to the peak of the mountain despite of their conditions. I can see their determination which keeps on pushing them to climb up to the peak of the mountain. I really respect their actions because , even a teenage like me already have problem climbing the mountain. But they still continue to perserver to the end. I think that we should learn such spirits from them... Well time to sleep, very tired... bye all!
