Day 5 - Excursion Around Wuhan

we gotta meet 650 at gate but MDE waited for everyone and go together to the gate.
First stop - East Lake

one big step to civilisation..

East Lake Gate..

Second stop - Musuem
Hubei and Wuhan has huge history in china..
about thousand years or so..
and has been through many kingdoms
and wars..
thus it left behind lots of ancient pots swords and remains of the horse carriage


a row of bronze pots..

remains of the war times

Third stop - Yellow Crane Tower
it has been through 5 kingdoms before coming to the present which is the 6th versions of the yellow crane building..
and each time it gets taller or more buildings are build around for each dynasties..
and though it might see it is only 9 storey high..
in actually it is higher as the stairs there is a complete staircase is only half a storey..
so you can imagine how high we need to climb..
it is too tall so we did not climb to the top..
hahas..


yellow crane tower


nice tiles drawings


for this bell buidling..
it is burned down in a big fire that broke out..
and the only structure or building left is this bell structure..



nice weather today..


a gate to go to the the tower

throught this touring of these places..
i finally have a rough idea of why china is really famous for their history..
previously, i only know it beacuse of the world war 2..
there is really a lot more for us to go find out in China, Hubei, Wuhan and many more provinces.

tomorrow is free day for us..
and we are going to go out with Fire, Charlotte, Joey , Journey, Guy and Yellow and many more WUST students..
we are going to either theme park or shopping..
meeting them at 1pm..
haha
going to have a long sleep now..
