Wudang Mountain Part 2

SECOND DAY

The second day started with breakfast. There was very plain porridge with side dishes, noodle soup and ‘man tou’. We left our heavy baggage at the reception area and went to visit South Crag Palace before boarding the Wudang Mountain shuttle bus to go take the cable car. The ride there took about 1 hour and was really curvy. I felt really nauseous but my stomach settled fast enough for me to have my lunch. It was really cold there due to the high altitude and probably the blast of cold winds when I came down from the warm shuttle bus. Even though the cable ride was short, the high altitude it was climbing at was a bit scary. From there, we started our exhausting climb up to the top, Tianzhu peak, where the Golden Hall was. As it was probably during the peak hour and season, there were a lot of local Chinese around and were squeezing their way to the top. Although it was squeezy, cold and messy, the view at the top was really magnificent and amazing. I’m very proud to say that I managed to reach the top without much difficulty and I was able to see nice view.

We left Wudang Mountain at around 5.30pm, had cup noodles at a rest stop for dinner at 7pm and only reached the university at almost 11pm. When I reached my hostel, I had to wake up one of the housekeeping ladies sleeping at the basement to help me open the door to my room. I was really thankful and grateful that she was around to help me.

Oh well, that was my very very brief intro about my Wudang Mountain trip. I took about 100 plus photos but they will take me ages to post them up here. Thus, I will only upload a few.
