2D1N

DAY 12

Today is the day to go for the 2D1N tour to the mountains!
We needed to gather at the parking lot in front of the teaching building by 730am!Luckily this morning, me and Ke Xin arrived there on time:)
We set off to go to Le Shan Mountain first and it takes about 2h30min to get there.It was quite a long bus ride!:(
When we reach there,we had to queue to see the giant buddha.Even though it was quite early (ard 11 or 12 plus), there was already a lot of people lining up. At first,I didnt know that we were queuing to see the giant buddha.We were in the queue for about 20 minutes before we got to see the giant buddha.The statue was really huge!It was bigger than what I had expected.

The Giant Buddha!!

Staircase we took to get to the bottom of the Giant Buddha statue!It was really long:)

Entrance to see Giant Buddha.

 After seeing the giant buddha,some of us went on to see the sleeping buddha.Before going there,we went to a temple.To get to the temple,we had to actually climb a narrow long staircase!It was really exhausting but at least we got to exercise a little!haha!

We got to tour around at the top and there was 2 caves that had smaller statues in them.After that,we went on to see the sleeping buddha.It was also really huge and the buddha statue was really in a sleeping position.At first I couldnt figure it out but my friend helped me to see it.:)

At thebottom of the stairs!

After that,we headed to our hotel.We were excited because we were told that the room is going to be warm!It beats our cold dorm room:)!We were hoping to get at least a decent hotel room but it was much nicer than what we had expected!:))
We went for dinner at the hotel at 610pm.And they served us fish!!It was the first fish dish we had since we arrived here!We ate the fish till we could see its bones literally!

Jinli Garden Hotel!

After dinner,a group of us decided to walk and shop around the area there.We came across a small river and a unique pathway to get to across it.There were stones across the river and you can step on the stones to get to the other side.We all tried to go through it but because there were some missing stones in between that leftt quite a big gap..only a couple of us(Wei Jie and Joyce) succeeded!

Trying to get across!!:)

We went on to shop around the area.Even though it was quite late,a lot of the shops are still open. However,there wasn't a lot of the local people around.We got to do a little shopping before heading back for our hotel to rest for the long day the next day.
