Sep 12, 2009 - Where long ago a yellow crane bore a sage to heaven

Today is another day of city tour. We woke up at 6 am as we suppose to meet up at 7.15 am. We took a small bus afterwards and went to our first destination, the East Lake. We waited there while enjoying the scenery until the wu bei provincial museum open. Here are some shot of the scenery.

As the time flew fast, it was time for lunch. We went to eat at the snack street. We bought ourselves one basket of soup dumpling with three flavors. Even after the delicious meal, we are still hungry. We bought oysters and scallops for snack. On top of that, we also bought smelly tofu and some soybeans. Here are some of the food photos.

After our delicious meal, we went to the yellow crane tower. Over there, we learn the history of the tower. The tower was five storey heights and it was higher than other buildings around it. The view from the top of the tower is outstanding. As the time went by, it was the time to go back to our bus and it marks the end of our city tour. We went back to our bunk and take a break for the day. Here are some photos of the yellow crane tower.

Reflection: from today city tour, I have learned that history is an important factor in human life. History teach you more about the country or people past culture and tradition hence it will help you to understand them better. History also taught you about their past mistakes which for you to learn and prevent that the same mistake for happening again. In conclusion, we should never look down on history and instead learn more about it specially the positive part and prevent the negative part from repeating.
