Times flies and before you know, it is Saturday already and we visited the Yellow Crane tower (Huáng Hè Lóu). Being one of the most famous and historic tower in China, it is located at the top of Sheshan which is near the Yangtze River. Another site that we were visiting after the Yellow Crane tower is the Gu Qing Ta.
Yellow Crane tower was fully packed with tourists when we reached. The scenery looks like the olden day China with shop houses everywhere. Beautifully carved wooden doors and windows were visible in all angles. As we entered the inner court, there was a lake and lots of Chinese writing everywhere. It is most suitable for people to stroll and sit to chit chat. There were much wood curved or written poetry hung all around the compound. There was this really huge bell at the top of a long flight of stairs. And finally we entered the Yellow Crane tower. A totally splendid view as we reach the top of the tower. The Gu Qing Ta is also very attractive as our tour guide explain about the history of these two places.

I've never heard of the Yellow Crane tower and Gu Qing Tai, and after this trip, at least i get more idea on how it come about and what the people believe in. The only "not so good" thing about this trip is that the tour guide speak in Chinese. We have some Malay classmates who may have difficulty understanding what the tour guide might being talking about.
