Assembling at 7.30am at the hotel lobby, (oh how much I miss you hotel room)
And we headed in the direction of the mountain. At first the route seems simple and it short, but as we walked and walked and walked I realized there was no ending!
This mountain looks like face !
The never ending road!
I was lagging behind after the first so one of the WUST staff kept pushing me, like literally push and that made me very annoyed because everyone has a different stamina and different strength she can’t expect me to move at the same speed as the people way in front of me, however if I were to think in her point of view, she needs us to move faster in order not to push back the other plans that were plan for the day. At one point of the journey up all I wanted to do was sit down and just give up, it was really tiring and due to the fact that I haven’t exercised for god knows how many years. BUT I persevere on because no one gave up and for the fact I was already there, why not just continue at my own pace right?! Both Teeli and I climbed up, step after step, hundred and thousand and millions of steps later WE FINALLY REACHED! The sense of satisfaction was great even though we weren’t the first at least we didn’t give up and that’s what matters. Like whatever we do in your studies, we shouldn’t give up half way we have to complete whatever we have started and not just leave it there to dangle and let others to finish it for you.
At the top, we were given our tickets to get into Wudang Mountains bronze roof temple. This roof is really special, when sunlight shines upon it, it will turn gold and it really looks very cool and the view was even nicer!
the detail on the roof very very detailed -I LIKE!
At this viewing platform, it was as if you were in heaven the clouds seem to be at your reach and you could just touch them. When I was up there the same WUST teacher saw me and ask, “Was it all worth it?” (Because on the way up I was telling her I wanted to give up). Indeed it was, cause the sense of satisfaction was something that I will not get to experience again. Even if I climb Mount Everest, it’s not going to be the same route, not the same difficulty, IT’S JUST NOT THE SAME!
don't we look like the picture at the background?
finally back to civilisation!
The journey back down wasn’t as bad as the journey up, but none the less it is still tiring, because of personal stamina and all, we arrived at different timings but that can’t be blamed right?! We were rushed out of the hotel lobby to get into those little shuttle buses and down the mountain, when we reached the foot, my thigh cramped up and I couldn’t walk at all! I felt pretty useless and crippled, but the people around me stayed back and help me, if it weren’t for them I would have looked like a fool sitting in the middle of the road with my leg stretched out. This shows no one can stand in the world be themselves, they need people in their lives. No matter how strong or good you are, you need people to be around to back you up when you fall and to support you in whatever you do.
We had to rush through lunch ( at this time it was already 4pm :O) and we only got back to the hostel at 9.30PM, washed up and went to bed
