We woke up at 6am, had our breakfast and started our hiking!
武当山In the morning around 7+ am, the weather is freezing cold. So we had all our windbreakers on
Starting point which is near our Hotel
We started off in a big group
Up up up we go~ As we go, we started to get warmer so we took off our windbreakers.
Slowly we dispersed, as everyone started to feel something on their calves! Some rested, slowed down, some Chiong all the way upTheres about 6500 steps up to the peak @.@
Finally we saw the peak! can u see the small triangle on top of the mountain?
Climbed and climbed.. good training for our leg muscles
Thats Daniel and Shun Qing.Look at the highest point in this picture. Thats our destination for today after 2 hours of hiking!We had to wait for everyone to reach before we go up to the peak.
We sweated alot. Thats the print stamped by our jerseys
Our resting point is also the point where we meet those who came up by cable cars.Some staff over there were shocked that we climbed up instead of taking the cable cars. I guess most people would not have the strength to climb all the way up.
When everyone arrived, we leave for the Summit
The view from the top makes my leg goes jelly~
Grp 1 without shunqing at the submit of WuDang mountain
After which we went down the mountain by cable cars..
Two person to one. Me and Shun Qing
We reached a point where by the cable car starts going downwards and not forward.
The cable car here wont slow down for you to alight so they will grab your arm and pull you out. HAHA
Look at that! The two lines down the mountain is the cable cars
All tired from the hiking...
Conquerors of 武当山 all by foot
Wow... Since the 1st day we are here, we've been seeing all these signs with weird wordings.
Our Lunch... and we set off for a 7 hours journey back to school.
Reflection:
This is an good experience- climbing up the 武当mountain. So feel like giving up halfway as it is really tiring, my calves are aching. However all of us persevered and encouraged one another. If we didnt came as a group i guess i would have given up halfway or take half a day to climb up. This is a challenge for all of us, in the future there will sure be more to overcome. Life is never meant to be easy.
Challenges are what make life interesting; overcoming them is what makes life meaningful.
