Now its smiling and posing for the camera. Hahaha.

My last photo at Belle Valley; A pityful butterfly that was struggling for its survival. 

After Belle Valley, we went to a village that is nearby to our hotel. It was an eye-opener; some lives in the world are just more simple and peaceful than others. (:

We had to cross this unstable and shaky bridge in order to get across to the village. It can only hold 10 people at any one time.

*Peace* Hahaha.

Remember the logs that mushrooms would grow on? We got to clearly see how the mushroom grows! Fascinating. Hahaha.

Upclose. (:

At the village, Winson explained to me that this is like a place where they offer help for families in terms of family planning. This is because of China's one child policy that is implemented. Therefore, family planning is indeed important. (:

The satellite dish installed at the village. Although they are away from urban life, they are also resourceful and creative. (:

The abandoned house.

I think these are firewoods that the villagers would use to cook so as to burn the fire and also may be used as a source of light at night. Hahaha.

Rearing chickens can only be seen at villages. Hahaha. So cool~

A small alley.

Beautiful sunset. (:

Mr Wong started throwing stones onto the water and it jumped across. Everyone else started doing so too. (:

I believe these are the moments which we will treasure because these are the things which are simple yet we don't usually do them in Singapore. Our lives are the total opposite of this; we won't really have a chance to throw stones onto the water because we don't live near the lake and we won't really get to see the beautiful sunset because our views are blocked by tall buildings. 

I will treasure moments like these because I have never felt such simple happiness before until today. (:

The village trip was indeed memorable even though it was only for a short while. (:

After dinner, we had a campfire whereby there were performances, dancing and singing. I guess everyone was just feeling euphoric. (:

Starting of the campfire. 

The fire was really huge. (:

The guy behind was going to step on two knives with his bare feet.

The same guy stepping and jumping on the broken glasses.

It was quite a performance. I was amazed by it and I think they must have gone through alot of practices in order to be able to do such things. Great things doesn't come easily; only with effort and determination can we achieve something great. (:

Somehow, some of them happened to take the stage and sing! Hahaha. 

LSCT students started it off.

I managed to capture a video of him singing. (:

Mengzhen and Franice joined in the fun too.

Masita, Hardy and Hajar can't resist the temptation of not singing. Hahaha.

What are singers without supporters, right? Well, here they are!

The ones who stood by the singers. (:

The entire performance ended with bubbles filling the air. (:

A big group photo to end the day. (:

Lulin Tour. (:

Map & Directions of Lulin Fort Village.

Lulin Fort used to be an army camp in the past. It was built on a mountain so as to prevent enemies from knowing where their troops are and also to allow them to easily monitor the movements of their enemies.

We are proud to defend Singapore ourselves, no one is responsible for our security and well-being.

Not only do boys have to go through National Service so as to equip themselves with relevant skills and knowledge, citizens of Singapore are also encouraged to participate in civil emergency exercises so that we can strengthen our resilience as a nation. Even if we were to have advanced weapons for defence, it is of no use if the people are not united in defending the nation. That is why we practice Total Defence in Singapore. (:

Behind the entrance lies a long and winding road.. Hahaha.

I gasped at the steps that we have to climb. But after climbing Wudang Mountain, this is really nothing much. Hahahaha.

By the cliff. (:

And another cliff. Haha.

The description board about the longest vine in the world.

The longest vine is behind Yong Qi. It is called the Fu Mang Vine. It is 2 inches wide, 100 inches long and has a history of 2000 years. Thats REALLY long.. Hahaha.

Eternal Love!

This is actually a willow tree that has 8 vines twining around it and growing with the tree all this while. Many people think that the tree and the vine are like loyal lovers and therefore, they gave them the romantic name of Eternal Love. (:

At the end of the ups and downs of the steps. (:

We were feeling tired but that won't stop us from taking photos! Hahaha.

This is the Moon Pool; a twin of the Sun Pool. The story goes that Wang Kuang was washing his hands by the pool when he saw the sun and the moon reflected in the water and he took it as auspicious. Therefore, he named the pool Sun Pool and had another pool built nearby known as Moon Pool. Maybe he regarded that the sun and the moon must never be separated. Hahaha. (:

Behind us is the Hantian Gate and it is a naturally-formed rock gate. It is 25m high and 16m wide. It is believed that the gate is blessed and can bring people good fortune. Therefore, pilgrims actually come here to pray.

This picture looks like some music video. Natural wonders. Hahaha.

We then proceeded to another place where there were more interesting things around. One of them was this big chess set! We can actually stand on them. (:

A treetop? Hahaha.

A description about Yuanyang Trees. 

These are the two ancient trees known as Yuangyang Trees. The trees are believed to have been blessed from Heaven and have never disappoint people. They would usually pray for their children and happy marriage under the trees.

A man playing a traditional Chinese instrument. Initially I thought it was Erhu but Xiang Yu told me that it isn't but its the family of Erhu. Hahaha. The man actually offered me to choose one of the wooden stick in the box and said that it was for free but I was reluctant to because I didn't know what it was for. Hahaha.

MDE girls! We were waiting for the LSCT students to arrive. 

Mr Wong in action!

This time, it was for free. Unlike the one near the Yellow Crane Tower. Hahaha.

The last place that we went to was the Northern Soldier Fort.

A picture with the cement!

*Peace* again. Hahaha.

Actually I was a little afraid to step on the rocks because it wasn't very stable but it was now or never. Hehe.

What were we thinking?! Hahaha.

The man was digging the soil out. Maybe he wanted to remove the muddy water there.

This place is actually the ruins and remains of the army camp during the war.

An overview of the used-to-be war place.

A well!

Weiguang is showing his muscles off. (:

Archery. (: 

We were actually allowed to try out but due to time constraint, most of us didn't had the chance to. Xinhui did but it wasn't very successful. Good try though! (:

I think this is like a tent where they would keep their weapons and stores.

Our tour guide who brought us around today. He volunteered to sing for us but he didn't know what to sing. Hahaha. I think he is still quite new in being a tour guide because he seemed very nervous when talking to us as a group.

Next, we went to Kong Shan Dong.

Since we were feeling quite warm, most of us left our jackets in the bus. No one told us that the cave would be cold. ):

The caves I went to in the past was usually warm. However, this cave was pretty cold. Cold cave! Hahaha.

This is actually a natural nuptial bed in the cave. They decorated the place such that it looks like a bedroom of a newly wed.

It isn't so clear but the sign says "Happiness Road" and "Long Road".

This is our last tour in Wuhan. 5 weeks may seem like a long road yet, this road has been filled with indescribable happiness.
