Day 19 and 20 !
We woke up early to prepare for the trip to wu dang shan .
The journey was so long that all of us fell asleep even though there’s a show playing at that time .
We reached the bottom of wu dang shan at around 12 and took our lunch in a restaurant .
The restrooms near the restaurant did not have doors !
I was told that the reason was that the government felt that they should invest on something more important than toilet doors .
Qiuyan even contemplated if she should use it or not .
After that , we got our tickets and made our way to the bus stop to wait for a bus .
We explored a few places and many temples , and have to keep getting on and off buses .
At the entrances of a few temples , there are high steps and we're supposed to walk over it instead of stepping on it .
I didn't know that and kept stepping on it until i was told that we're not supposed to do that .
I felt guilty .
All along , I was curious about the high steps , but did not take the initiative to ask what was it for .
We also saw some interesting things like trees hanged with some red pieces of cloth (people write their wishes in there before hanging it up) .
And a well if a stone creature with dragon head at the bottom .
People are supposed to try to aim coins into the creature's mouth .
None of the people i've seen succeeded .
After that , we checked into a hotel .
The room was awesome ! (Nearly 5 stars !)
Too bad we only got to stay there for one night .
The next morning , we had our breakfast there before setting off to wu dang shan !
We took the cable car up for the first part of the journey up to save time and strength .
The mountain was filled with people and we have to squeeze our way up .
The experience was not very good as the people there were aggressive and they would just push you if you’re in their way .
Adding on , I saw many people littering on my way up .
Even though there was a dustbin just a distance away from them , the people would just throw it on the floor .
It is not illegal to litter in China .
Their reason to litter is that there are people working there to pick up litter and it’s their job to do so , therefore it is not wrong for them to litter .
I even saw a little girl throw a stick on the floor after finish eating the hotdog !
I guess this kind of practice is trained from young and parents are responsible for how their child behave in the future .
We didn’t spend long at the peak of the mountain as there were still many people waiting to get up .
The area of the peak was very small and was packed with people .
Space for taking photos was quite limited too .
I was quite disappointed as it was far from what I expect it to look like .
The sense of accomplishment and satisfaction of reaching the peak after climbing for so long was not there .
When we’re waiting to get down , my friends and I linked hands/arms as we were afraid to lose each other among the crowd .
Suddenly , a man just cut between my friend and I by taking our hands and pushing them apart forcefully , he even made a sound to show that he was annoyed .
How rude !
He didn’t even bother to say excuse me .
After reaching below , we took the cable car down and made our way to the same restaurant we went yesterday to eat our late lunch .
After lunch , we took a long ride back to our campus .

First thing in the morning: present our PBL reflections .
They were delicious and only cost 3rmb for 8 pieces !
Although it was very cold up there , we bought ice-cream as we were told by a lecturer that if we eat ice-cream on a cold day , our body will feel warmer .
THIS ! haha .
