A tiring but rewarding experience#
Today I went to climb the Wutong Mountain with my friend, and I have to say, that this journey to Wutong Mountain was really unforgettable, not only for its challenges laid to test out will and energy, but also the wonderful scenery this mountain provided.
Interesting people and things#
Seemingly difficult as the climb was, we made it to the top, where Shenzhen TV tower is located. We were a little surprised that a group of foreigners, consisting of two white women, one black man and brown woman, came into our sight. Yep I knew that Shenzhen is an international city, and people from all over the world might come here and have fun. What is really beyond my expectations is that some of them would choose to climb a mountain full of challenges (probably I would never do the same thing when I travel lol), and were seen by us.
One white woman was complaining about their water shortage when I saw them in a pavilion, and later on we met a stall selling drinks, a child taking care of all this. I don’t know if they bought drinks there, but the scene was really funny where we met another stall responsible for the same sort of things, the difference being that the owner of it was a woman.
Yeah it made sense that a family ran such stalls separately in order to get the maximum profits, though such things are illegal there, and there’s more than them doing such business.
The most daunting part!!#
The most challenging part of the climb was the way back home. It was so great to go back from the summit, but the steep slope posed great threat to every climber. You need to hold on to the handrail and tighten your grip on it when you are going through the steep section of the trail. To be honest, I don’t have acrophobia, but the fear of falling down a steep trail should be deeply rooted in everyone’s hearts.
The process was truly demanding and when I reached the top, I actually didn’t have the sense of achievement that I thought many people might obtain. Maybe I’m just not such a kind of person who is always capable of making up his mind to challenge all the difficulties proactively, even if that means putting his physical health and dignity at risk.
But what I feel is completely normal, because I haven’t exercised for a long time and just stayed in my own room for nearly the whole winter holiday, it being reasonable to get a little bit frightened and an increasing desire to quit, my being not-so-athletic body calling for a rest!!
差点落下公交卡！#
好险，要不是我刚刚检查了一下公交卡，要不然就掉在座位和车边边的空隙里了🙃
