I was suppose to wake up at 6 30am but i overslept =p. Rushed and met the 03s at the entrance of the dorms. First stop, the yellow crane tower!!! It is only 5 storeys tall, BUT in the building itself, it contains 9 storeys. You people must be wondering how it is possible.. Hehehehe.. =p Within each storey, it is sliced to contain two storeys. So when 4 storeys (excluding the first floor) is cut into two parts, it will contain a total of 9 storeys. Cool ya?? =) The tour guide told us about the story of how the yellow crane tower came about. However, it is only a legend because the government reclaimed and re - furnished the tower to become a tourist attraction. Inside the building, it is very crowded, as tourist from all over china and parts of the world were taking photos and admiring the architecture. On the first floor of the tower, there is a huge brick painting of the legend of the yellow crane tower. We decided to climb the tower right up to the highest floor (tiring!!! >.<) The view on the top floor is awesome!! After which, we decided to have a shades photo =p
For our next destination, we went to Gu Qin Tai. The villa was created due to the moving true story about the strong bond between friends, even though they are of different worlds. Many road names, building names have spawned because of the story.
At our last destination, we were suppose to go shopping. But all of us were to tired to move (yes, even me). So 03s just walked to the nearest coffee house, known as Victoria Coffee house and chilled~ We ordered coffee and ice - cream. While waiting, we played some games. Time passed by quickly and soon we had to head back to the school.
Reflection
China has a rich culture and we had just viewed two of the many different places that each has a story behind it. By visiting these two places, my knowledge of Chinese myths and morals has increased. I have also learnt that the Chinese are able to create opportunities out of anything that comes to mind. China is a huge country that has countless legends that are created over its rich 5000 years. Hence, the Chinese are able to create financial opportunities by using their history as a base for attracting tourist. I have also seen how strong the Chinese views their morals and ethics. They view their morals as one of he top priority, making them one of the most reliable nation in the world.
