Had our lunch before heading to the first destination of Wudang Mountain. Visit to Nan Yan and Tai Zi Po.
Reached Wudang Mountain
shops selling wudang swords
Took a short bus tour ride to a much more highest part of the mountain but not the peak- Tai Zi Po.
Climbing up the stairs! saw the red thingy round my neck? thats for throwing up on the tree after making a wish. the highest you throw, the better.
thats the tree.
at the temple. Lesson learnt! It happend like this, went in together with willis to pray and was told that we can choose to put 30, 60 or 90RMB for praying. As i did not have small change, 210RMB only, i put 10RMB in the offering box.
After praying, we were told to pick a "qian" from the priest. It was like process which we DID NOT know about it. After picking it, the priest told us to write our name and wishes on the booklet. Thats not the end yet, we had to write how much money ranging from 199-399RMB we would like to donate and is compulsory. We were SHOCKED! As we did not have enough money and its ridiculous to request that much so we decided to gave 100RMB.
Steffi experience the same thing but she insisted of paying 10RMB. We didnt know that we dont have to listen to their request, thought was a must as its a whole process. Not the money issue but its their moral. I think that praying in a temple, the amount money we gave is by our wish not requested by them.
Kinda feel of being con. Quite heartpain for a moment but after sometimes, i think is alright, take it as a donated and blessed in return. I just think that praying in a temple, the amount money we gave is by our wish not requested by them. Anyway, take it as an experience learnt. :)
this tower was amazing! not the surrounding but the structured. It is supported by only one pillar from the 1st level and 6 pillars at the side! THATS HOW STRONG THE PILLARS ARE!
Next, went back to the restuarant to have our dinner and check in! i think that the arrangement of rooms is bad! They have not enough rooms and we have to separate in different hotels.
our room
night walk along the street outside the hotel.
Day 28 21/09/08
Went to the peak of Wudang Mountain. Some took the cable car while some of them climb up. As around noon time we need to be back so i decided to take the cable up but ended up reached at the same time as those climbers due to the waiting time of the cable ride. haha
i love the mist!
view out from the temple.
at the peak
bought this at the temple, carve our family name and locked it at the peak. It means safety and healthy for our family.
trying to lock it and.............
ITS LOCKED! :)
and thats the end of our Wudang Mountain visit.
on our way back .
Thats all for the trip. Nice scenery of Wudang Mountain which i love the most. : )
