Day 20

WHY?

because of the cruise alarm, the speaker is just right above me! so i had no choice. haha


Had our breakfast and headed to the activities of the day. Boarded a ship, transferred to a sampan for our water drifting, enjoyed the scenery along the way.


长江大桥


between the valley

Ready for water drifting?


who's the extra finger?


Rowing starts now!


the other boat, saw how's the men row the boat? is NOT that easy, required ALOT of EFFORT!


they had to pull the boat when crosses the upstream. Its tiring to the max!

Headed back to the cruise in the afternoon for lunch and rest before the the ship sail passed the scenery of godness peak and last gorge in the evening. The guide explained the legend of the mountain and some has a shape of certain animals.


Notice there's a hole on top? According to the guide, if you get to see a beam of light shining, make a wish. Not everyone is so lucky to see, so I'M THE UNLUCKY ONES. :(

Had our dinner and after that to visit the white emperor temple. climbed like 300 over steps to reached the entrance.


nice scenery upon reaching the temple


real bones of a historical person ( forgot who's it ;p)



me, yining and sam. heard that it will have good luck or blessed after touching i suppose.


i like the words ! but doesnt know what's the meaning. haha

Backed to the cruise. enjoyed the breeze at the 5th level hoping to see the full moon when clocked 12am but only for like 1sec? as the moon is covered by the clouds.

Supposed to play mahjong as i wanted to stay awake for the sunrise but benji fell asleep while we girls chatted till like 2am. getting colder and colder, couldnt stand the wind and went to yining's room to watch tv.......but..... FELL ASLEEP!

Still, we managed to wake up on time to see the sunrise. to our disappointment, there's no sun after waiting till 6plus am. :(

day 21
Had breakfast, packed our stuffs and headed back to Wuhan. Everyone was so tired and slept soundly on the bus.


The rest went to had their lunch while i took a nap in the hostel as i'm not hungry.

Its mooncake festival
