It was an early day. We had to gather and meet at 715am.
After which we set off for a 1h 30mins journey to the city...
1st Destination, The biggest scenery tourist attraction in Wuhan and also the largest lake within a city in China, is located on the south bank of the Yangtze River
View at East Lake
QuYuan Status- who drowned himself in a tributary of the Yangtze River. He is the reason why we are eating ZONGZI now.
After a tour at East Lake.. we went of to Bai Yi Yuan 小吃街 
2nd destination, we went off to the Hubei Museum, they have a large collection over there. The Museum has a large collection of 200,000 cultural relics (Pottery, porcelains, jade, bronze vessels, ancient weapons and ancient musical intruments)
The Chime Bells in the Bottom right picture is the largest bronze musical instrument ever discovered. There are about 3,000 ancient Chinese characters on the bells, describing the music and the owner of this instrument.
Last Destination, we went to the Yellow Crane Tower (黄鹤楼). It has a long history and was rebuilt several times before this current one which was rebuilt at 1981.
There is a huge bell in front of the tower which has a structure that looks like a chinese word (春). There is also electronic guides in the tower.
"Welcome once more the presence""Welcome you next time"Direct Translation. haha
Reflection:
City tour day (I) today, is Definitely a very enriching one. Stories behind these historical sites are rather very interesting and new to us to some of us. I've read some of these stories during our primary school/secondary school chinese textbook and here we are today at the historical sites. Imagining what happened thousands of years ago just at where we are standing. It is sometimes hard to believe what is in the history book of China is right infront of my eyes.
