Today, we are going to Wudang shan. We woke up early in the morning and prepare ourselves. It was long bus ride approximately 6 hours bus ride. As we slept quite late last night, we were quickly falling asleep in the bus. After a long tiring bus ride, we finally reach our destination. We are going to grab some lunch before transferring to another bus ride.
After our lunch, we went to take another bus ride to prince temple. It was raining that day and there were quite a lot of people going there. Over there, we enjoyed the scenery and learn more about Chinese’s culture such as which leg should be used first to walk in. We also enjoyed a cup of hot tea there to warm our body up. Here are some photos of the place:

As time fly pass, we went to the hotel which we are staying to put our bags down. We went to climb up the mountain to another temple which is located quite high. It was a lot of stairs going up and down. On top of that the scenery here was amazing. Here are some photos of the place:

After that we went back for dinner and took a rest for the day as we need to wake up early tomorrow for some mountain hiking.
The next day, I woke up early in the morning to have some breakfast. Today, we are going to climb up all the way to the Wudang Shan. We packed our stuff and put in the hotel. We started to walk up the mountain. There are a lot of stairs that goes up and down. The hiking was seriously tiring to the core. The total number of steps was roughly 4500 steps or even more. After climbing up all stairs, we stopped halfway to buy a lock. The locks are meant to be lock at the peak which will give us a good bonding with our families and friends. After roughly 2 to 3 hours hike, we finally reach the peak. On top of peak there is a temple and 600 years old tree if I remembered it correctly. Here are the photos of the vicinity:

After taking a lot of photos and locking our lock, it is time for us to climb down the Wudang Shan! Luckily, we did not need to walk all the way back. This time, we were taking cable car and my cable car partner is Edy. We hop in our cable car and the ride took about 20 minutes. Here are some photos of the cable cars and the peak of Wudang photos:

After, we reach the bottom of the mountain, it is time for lunch. We went for lunch and after that it is time to say good bye to the Wudang Shan. The trip back to our university was longer, it was roughly 7 hours bus ride. Once we reached back our bunk, we went to eat dinner and rest for the day.
Reflection: Based on these two days trips, I greatly realise that you can do almost everything if you tell your mind you can do it. During the hike, I almost give up as it was tiring. But due to my entire friend’s support, I manage to tell my mind I can do it. This applicable in our daily life, there is a lot of moment where we want to give up on our goals. We thought there is no hope and surrender. Hence, we tend to stray off from our goals. This is where friend and family come in; they show us the correct path back to our goals. In conclusion, we can achieve and overcome all the obstacles, as long as you have the correct mindset.
