Group A ; Day 4!

Friday, February 4, 2011

I didn’t felt much for the trip to Shilin (stone forest) as I thought that they were just rocks that needed our imaginary to see the sculptures that were hidden. While in Jiuxiang, I felt that the place was amazing. Firstly, we took a boat on the water. Then we walked through the cave and the place was serene. Then, we took flights of stairs in the cave and we took a long time to finish. Lastly, we took the cable ride. After the ride, we bought ice-cream, in a cold weather. Although I was very cold, I still wanted to have an ice-cream as I think it was a different experience than eating that in Singapore.

We went to Shi Lin and Ju Xiang. I was really amazed by the sights and the different stones, rocks and caves in all shapes and sizes. I saw many things which I only saw in pictures and guide books. It was a wonderful feeling seeing it in real life. We then went back to the hotel after dinner but didn't sleep just yet. We prepared for the CIP the next day at the primary school. Practiced till midnight and it was so fun and you could feel East Views TEAM SPRIT! =D

We woke up early to go Shilin ( Stone forest ) and Jiu Xiang cave. The stones at stone forest are interesting, there are some coral-like fossil on a stone. And we also saw a elephant-like stone. It’s a mother elephant with a baby elephant. We even went to the top of the stone forest. After that, we went to Jiu Xiang cave. We went for a boat ride, and even paddled it ourselves and also have fun splashing water at each other. Especially Ms Teo. We also went for a opened up cable car ride. I am freezing on top, as the cold wind by pass, and I am eating ice-cream. After that went for lunch and dinner and went back to hotel!

On this day, 21st November, We went to the Stone forest. At first, I thought it would be boring, because who would want to see a bunch of rocks right? But when we arrived, I was awed. The sight was tremendously beautiful. Stones of different hieghts and designs, all so beautiful. You definitely wont find this in Singapore! We climbed up the rocks, the steps were slippery, we had to be very careful of where we step, or else we'll slip :s. When we finally reached the top, the view was spectacular! The bird's eye view of all the rocks really awed me. The Chinese locals were also quite inconsiderate. They'll just push us around and pretend we weren't there. I really got a culture shock. Anyway, after that, we went for lunch. Lunch for me was, uncomfortable. There was something, that looked like a piece of meat, hanging on a tree, in the kitchen area. Also, we were disturbed by dogs. After lunch, we went to Jiuxiang. We took a boat ride. It was fun. I rowed the boat, very tiring. After that, we headed to the cave. At first, it was fine. But as we go deeper in the cave, it started to freak me out. The steps were slippery, and it was dark. I actually cried, before the cable ride. It was just me being too paranoid, because I was afraid that the ride wasn't safe. Hahahha. In the end, Ms Reenu encouraged me. Qinah, Shahren and Fifi also did encourage me. Rode it with Ms Reenu. It was scary, becuase it was really high! Afterwards, we head to dinner. There was a traffic jam on the way there. Dinner was nice. After that, head back to the hotel, changed, and practiced our games and performance. All of us slept late, around 12 midnight. That was my Day 4 (:

We visited the stone forest and Jiuxiang cave. Both were splendid sites which has plenty of beautiful sceneries. We took many pictures. We even rowed boats and took the cable car ride. It was scary at first but we got used to it and we loved it. The whole day was just great although tiring but it was worthwhile. We then had dinner and we went back to the hotel.
