day 19

And so it begins our trip to wudang mountain to attain immortality. We got up pretty early in the morning around 6am to get ourselves prepared. We left at 7 and took a 5 hour bus trip to the mountains. On our way, there are nice sceneries to see, all the plant cultivations and houses. Got me thinking that these farmers are really at the mercy of the weather, any sudden changes and their crops for the year might be gone and they will suffer famine. How sad. I got in and out of consciousness during the whole trip(sleep to be exact). When we reached there we got up into the mountains using their shuttle bus and i must say that their drivers are really professional. They just navigate through the hairpins with ease using a bus. Really give it up to them, its their livelihood anyway. All i can say for the scenic spots are that you gotta climb up and up and up and you will get rewarded with the nice scenes on top of the mountain. Lots of sightseeing were being done and the most common thing on the mountain was temples. Temples after temples were being spotted on the mountains. Does taoism really emphasize on temples being built so that the gods can be worshipped or just that as long as you have god in your heart and thats all that matters. During in the evening we went to this hotel that doesnt look like one from the outside, but once u step into the room, you will be blown away totally by the tv, beds, nice toilet etc ( every student's dream). Too bad we only get to enjoy life for a day. Oh and the tv had lots of channels so my friends and i watched the shows till around 1+ before we went to sleep. That's how the day went
