Day 34 - 27 September 2008
Last Excursion organised by the school - Visit to Wuhan's Botanic Gardens and East Lake (东湖).
Nothing much about the Botanic Gardens, just went there to take a look, walk around and enjoying Mother Nature. Just like Singapore's Botanic Gardens, except there is a greenhouse full of exotic and sub-tropical flowers and the area is big (and a bit porly maintained, in certain areas)
Afterwards, we went to East Lake. Part 1 of East Lake was visit to the Moshan area of East Lake. fyi, East Lake is divided into several tourist areas, and we are going to visit 2 of it.
At Moshan, we went to several tourist sites and took numerous photos. Probably the main highlights of the day were:
1) Visiting the Chu Market where everyone spent RMB10 to wear ancient clothing
2) Finding a spot to picnic
3) Visiting 楚天台 (highest point at East Lake) where we experienced the music performance using the bells replica (rmb the set that was found in the museum?) and enjoyed 东湖 scenery!
Yep. After enjoying all the fun, we moved on to another part of East Lake where 10 of us shared a tourist site-seeing vehicle to move around the park. Visited 屈原memorial hall etc.
That's all for our last excursion in Wuhan, with our day ending with dinner take-aways from the local market found at the back alley =)
P.S. Autumn is coming (FINALLY). Meaning? Temperature is dropping drastically. Therefore, COOL!
