Day 34: 武当山 trip. Day 2

Woke up early at 6am today. we are supposed to gather at 7am for breakfast. After breakfast, we board the bus. Around 10-15 mins we reach WDS.

The buses that are supposed to bring us up to the cable car

Firstly, we will be brought up to the foot of the hill where we will take the cable car up to WDS. The buses in WDS are more special as the drivers are specially trained to drive up the hill. The narrow pathway could not be driven by any Tom Dick and Harry. The cable car can allow 2 person at one time. Each ride is around 20-25 mins. We could view the magnificent scenery on the ride. However, we waited for 1 hour plus before we board the cable car as it was very crowded and the system is moving very slowly.

Thats all for the visit to WDS. After that we took the cable car down and went for lunch. Following that, we went to the WDS Prince Temple. It's the place where the prince stay in at the age of 15.

After a visit to it, we were getting ready to head down to our hotels. We took a bus to the foot of the hill afterwhich we were brought to another hotel in Xiang Fan city. We are going to visit the place Zhuge Liang stay when he was young tomorrow. Our hotel was very good also. One of the main point of the hotel room is that the toilet is fully glass door. Means we can see the inside from outside. Also, there is computer with internet access inside. 




It is really a pity that we have to wake up so early on both mornings as the hotel rooms are really very comfortable. How I wished I can stay longer in it.
