DAY 19! [Learn the way of Dao with me at Wudang (pt2)]

Had breakfast at the same restaurant before entering Wudang Mountain again. Will be taking cable car all the way to the highest peak of Wudang.

On our way to the cable car station.
Saw this cute little girl eating corn while we were queuing for the cable car.
We queued for around 1 hour and then...some people tried to cut our queue.
Hey! I know they are old folks, but that doesn't give them to rights to cut queue right ?! SEE! Our tour guide got the security to drag them out of the queue.
Okay guys, show's over. Continue to queue. We are reaching soon.
Come on! We are reaching soon. Trust me!
YAY! We reached....only the half-mark of the queue.
Finally got into the cable car.
Me in the cable car.
We literally CLIMBED up to the peak of Wudang.
The Golden Palace on the peak of Wudang. Many worshippers paid their respects to the deity at the peak. Coins and dollar notes were all over the floor as the worshippers threw their money meant as donation for the temple. They believed this would bring them good luck.
Above and beyond! View from the top.
Photo with Mr Ma.
It says, ' Peak of Wudang ' .
An entrance of a temple near the cable car station.
Shop selling swords as souvenirs. How to bring them through the customs of Singapore ??
Queue again for the journey DOWN.
Sorry. What talking you ? I don't understand. Try intepreting the message.
DOWN WE GO!
Reaching the cable car station at the bottom.
Jit Siong almost fell over the wall. I'm there to save him! LOL
Interesting sign. AGAIN.
Everyone dead asleep on our way down to the foot of Wudang. ( Except Mr Chua )
Sleep and sleep and sleep. On our way to WUST.

One more ugly side of the Chinese. Their toilets are LEGENDARY. Was at a toilet at the foot of Wudang. Saw a man doing his BIG business with the cubicle door still open. What’s worse, he sounded like he was constipated. Had already heard many stories about the LEGENDARY TOILETS from many of my friends on this trip. I finally experienced it myself…
Another point, the Chinese seemed to have the habit of cutting queues. Other than the old folks that tried to cut our queue. There was another man who cut our queue. We did formed a 'human 'wall' to stop him from pushing his way through. However, he still managed to squeeze his way through. Many people were scolding him behind his back. Yet, he seemed indifferent.
Night fell upon us as we were still travelling to WUST. There were almost no road lights on the roads in China. Was pitch black outside except for the headlights of the bus. Sang karaoke on the bus on our way back.
