Saturday we set off early in the morning at 6.50am. Making our way to Wu dang Shan, which took us 6 long hours in the bus to reach there.

Wu Dang Shan which is located in Hubei province of China. The mountains of Wudang were known for the many Taoist monasteries to be found there, monasteries which became known as an academic centre for the research, teaching and practise of meditation, Chinese martial arts, traditional Chinese medicine, Taoist agriculture practices and related arts.

Upon reaching wudang, we proceed to have our lunch at a restaurant which serves many nice hometown dishes. After which, we went up the wudang shan and explore the places up there. Shutter buses were which brought us up the turn left and right throughout running up. It consists of 108 turns, headaches and giddiness were felt so most of the time, i take this chance to sleep and have more rest.

The Second day of the trip was back to wudang shan, this time we are given the chance to climb or to choose to take the cable car up to the highest point of the mountain. Our ECE students all choose to take the cable car. We ended up queueing for 1 and a half hour. Sigh! Many china people cutting queue and making a fuss, i found out that china people skin are very thick, they felt no embarrassment at all even when being confront , should have climb up instead as by the time we reached the top, other students from other department have reached the top by climbing.

Many locks are being lock to the chain around the temple at the peak of the mountain. As it is believed that if the couple lock both of their locks together on the chain on the temple, it would lock their loves together forever. So if you happen to be there, don’t be surprise if you find tons of locks surrounded the temple.

As time goes by, it is time to make our journey back to wuhan. 6 long hours of bus ride back to hostel. Everyone was exhausted, almost everyone was sleeping on the bus. But for me, i had stomachaches from the start of the journey and hold the pain for about 3.5 hours before the bus reached a toilet. The experience was unbelievable! Lucky for me, I need not have to shit at any bushes along the expressway. Pew!!!
