Today will the day that we leave our hostel for a 2day 1night trip to le shan and ermei shan. We took the bus to le shan first. It was a very long ride. After we reached the place, the first thing we did was to have lunch. We had a lot of dishes and were very full. We then went on to le shan.
The guide told us we could choose 2 routes, by foot or by ship. Many of us chose to climb by foot as we not much cash left. Hence, we’ve around 333 steps to climb. Firstly, we saw a few sculptures that was partly eroded naturally. Then we moved on to see a dragon. The guide told us not to take pictures with it as it is not auspicious. After that, we were given some time to take photos of the large Buddha by the professional photographer there. Next was a long journey to the foot of the Buddha. We had to wait around 2 hours to reach the foot, as it was very tall and there were a lot of people. The handle of the staircase were all eroded and it was very thin. It was not very safe holding onto it. After looking at the Buddha, we then climb back up, it was a really tiring journey as the steps were really steep.
Finally, we moved on and took the bus to our hotel for the night. It was in way better condition than our hostel. Many of us were quite happy. Upon reaching the hotel, we had our dinner. As we were in the middle of the mountains, the food wasn’t very nice. After dinner, some of us wanted to get some food for tomorrow’s trip to er mei shan. Unfortunately, the girls were not allowed to go out as it was very dangerous. Hence, we stayed in our rooms and played card games to pass time.
The trip to le shan was very worth as we get to see many of the different things of the tang dynasty.
