Woke up, packed our stuffs and left our super comfy hotel room. We're leaving for the LULIN Ancient Army Camp.

Best breakfast we had here

After which we went to the LU LIN's Ancient Army Camp. We need to take their bus up the place.

The bus is travelling at a very fast speed despite the twist and turns up the mountain. It feels like roller coaster! The skills of the driver is really good...


6
Really fast!

Its 830m above sea level when we reached the destination.

Look at the view behind us! Simply magnificent!

路是人走出的...

Those are the cannons at the back and the cart they are sitting on are used to transport materials.

This looks so much like a scene in Ancient Dramas.
Imagine soldiers charging and fighting over here during ancient times.


6
Theres also horse riding experience there. 10RMB (around S$ 2)
Didnt tried it out though most of them said it was fun.

6
Archery using the ancient bow.

6
After which we went down the mountain and to the Cave to the Heaven and Camel Peak


6
Wishes of many tied on a wishing tree in front of the temple. Some of them went in to pray for their studies and safety.

6
The big gong. Strike it 3 times

While walking down, we'll be able to see something in the picture below..

6
Can you guess what animal it is??

Its a camel.. hence the Camel peak!

Next up we went into the Cave to the Heaven. It was kind of small and crampy in there.


6
Going into the cave~

Before Squeezing through the exit of the cave, we can see an opening at the top with light shining in, i guess this is why they name it Cave to the Heaven.

6
After which we went down the mountain with that exciting bus ride and back to the resturant for lunch. I guess we had 3 meals before this. And this particular dish contains the lotus -eaten in yesterday's lunch, duck meat- eaten in yesterday's dinner and they are now our lunch today.
After the lunch.. its time to head back to our hostel.
The next day we will start our 1st lesson in Wuhan!

In one of the previous post there is the cucumber flavour of LAY's Potato Chips.


And now presenting to you LYCHEE, KIWI and BlueBerry flavour! Dont think that the Natural & Cool is there for show.. there is really a cooling feel in the mouth after eating it. These are unique flavour cannot be found in Singapore!

Reflection:
After a visting the Lu Lin Ancient Army Camp, I can't imagine how the soldiers fought in such condition. So up high in the mountains, how did they even manage to reach there with the technology then. Helicopter? Jet Fighter? Its guess its the determination to win something which makes it possible. This tells us that with determination, nothing is impossible, everything is possible.
Unlike Singapore where most of the natural attraction are man-made, we're able to take a look at what something that is formed naturally and can still be so amazing.
