D20 - 武当山!

Back at 武当山 on sunday. We checked out the hotel at 6.30am, headed for breakfast and started our mountain climbing at 9am. My mountain climbing buddy was mengzhen (: hahhas yes, my group leader! We managed to reach 金顶 in 2 hours time ( estimated time was 3hrs). Anyway, we were the first 2 to reach (: Both of us felt great (: The top was really cooling and packed with people who wanted to offer their prayer in the temple at the peak. I had an enjoyable climb with mz, and a shared bottle of coke and laughters were the energy boost for the both of us!
I felt fortunate and happy that I had been some of these attraction of wuhan, when not even 1/2 of the population of China have been to these places. I enjoyed going from temple to temple, and prayed to every single god with my heart during these 2 days. I prayed for peace for country, harmony among people, and good health for family and friends (:
These 2 days were rather short and fast, but enjoyable. The tour ended with han xuan's ( the tourguide) word. The 3 "yuan": 缘分, 原谅, 圆满 . I found it really meaningful, and these moments spent with guides and friends will be kept (:
