day 34+35

Luling trip

It was our last tour while in Wuhan already. this time round, it was a trip to the Luling resort. as usual we board our bus early. it was a 4hr ride. and i want to comment on this particular bus trip. becos its the most bumpy and noisy one i ever sat in my entire life. throughout the journey was uneven paths with honkings frm the bus to warn any vehicles in front or incoming frm a blind spot.

so we reached and had lunch, jinquan wasn't feeling well at that time due to the bus ride. therefore he din't join us all for the tour after we checked in to the local hotel. btw the hotel is great. its very spacious and classy. the only bad point is that alot of ladybugs flew in through the window.

we walked about at the mei ren gu(Belle valley) and its seriously very beautiful there with nice flowers, streams, rocks and waterfalls. so we spent quite a long time there taking photos and then after that we went back to some whr near our hotel to walk around the nearby village. we have to cross a suspended bridge btw. and the bridge can only hold 10 ppl at once.

after that we went for dinner and at night there is this campfire with performances and singing session. everybody was very high and had fun.

day 35
2nd day at luling.
we checked out of our hotel.
and today we went to the luling fort village. we climbed up a mini hill that has alot of attractions, like some specials rocks and tree vines.

then we went past han tian gate which is a magnificent scenic spot, saw the statue of liu xiu(first emperor of the Eastern Han), took pictures of the camel peak and next we went to a battle ground which in on a hill. (830+m above sea level.) pretty cool to see a watch tower, battle flags, tents and there is even an area for u to try out archery!
aft that we left for lunch. bade farewell wif the local tour guides and took a 2hr exact same bumpy bus ride to kong shan dong. its basically a cave which has interesting features and some natural formations inside. ended our cave journey by completing the scaling ladder.
our trip thus ended. headed back dorm to rest early for the leadership development programme the nxt day.
