The view from the top of the yellow crane tower which is 5 story high and it must have had a beautiful sight; however, the clouds had blanketed the view. Which was such a pity, we had to be ready by 8AM and its very rare time that you’ll see us awake!
We were rushed like herd of sheep to the next place which was LUNCH at a five star hotel! (Finally no more dumplings)
After lunch, we were chartered to yet another tourist destination, 古琴臺, on the way there, we cross the Yangtze River bridge which had a really pretty sight (my student leader brought us there the night before the trip) but because of the fog we couldn’t really see much and it is a pity.
古琴臺 had a really pleasant surrounding with background music coming from the guzhen in the main tower to the very cloudy scenery. The tour guide was telling us the life story of bou ya. The one story that really caught my attention was bouya travelled by foot to the tortoise mountain only to find his friend ZhiQi dead. Buoya played on his lute for the very last time for him, just before breaking it and swearing that he’ll never play any instrument ever again.
Following古琴臺,we went to a park which had old people everywhere, everything moving so slowly, even the time it seem forever for 5 minutes to go by however the bronze statues there were really cool. It showed what people did in china many years ago.The statues remind me of those along the Singapore River at Clarke Quay where there are bronze statues of the people in the early 50's in Singapore.
