China 2014: Day 5 (Wuyishan)

First of all, Happy Chinese New Year to everyone who celebrates it!

Apologies for not updating this blog regularly, and I am going to use school as a reason/excuse for my absence once again. Since I get a short break from school now, I shall continue my slightly overdue blog post.

Wuyishan is known for its mountains and beautiful landscape. On that very day where loads of walking and climbing was involved, the sun was out, and the weather was really hot. I was burning in my sweater...note to self: always check the weather forecast!

Again, I'm not sure why the photos appear redder and more orange on here...they looked fine when I was editing them! :( Now I shall let the photos do the talking. (Because I am lazy to type and honestly speaking, after more than 2 months, my memory of the trip isn't the clearest now :O) 





Wuyi Palace.
My grandpa! Featuring my grandma in the background :D

The front of Dawang (Prince) Peak
Such an autumnal scene!


Yunu (Lady) Peak
Was feeding the fish and look at that fish opening its mouth!

Chinese characters carved onto the rocks.


The back view of Dawang Peak. Looks less majestic, eh?


Jiuqu Stream! This river has 9 major bending, and hence it's named Nine Bends Stream.



And I began my ascend up the most famous (and scenic trail) up the Tianyou Peak!




Lens flare lens flare lens flare! Though it's not the best but hey it's lens flare after all!

Postcard view of Wuyishan, right here!


Continuing my ascend up to the highest point...the steps were getting steeper and steeper.



















Legend has it that the fairies used to dry their fabrics on this piece of rock (which is Tianyou Peak itself), hence leaving this streaky pattern down the rock :)


Love the golden glow!


The sun set, a while later.
And that's it for this post! I'm coming to the end of this travel posts series really soon...so stay tuned!

Elsa :)
