Going to Yellow Crane Tower as a group..

street shop below the Yellow Crane Tower

99 crane
the 100th crane is in the tower itself

read from the right : " Zhuan Guan "
word written by Li Bai
additional dot on the " Zhuan " is because he felt that word itself cannot fulfil the scenery there thus add that dot on it to futher enhance of what he wants to express

Back at WUST

Reflection:
The people here got shorter legs... scenery were quite nice.

Food in Snacks Streets were quite tasty other then the smell of the stinky beancurd... aww..
Saw a uncommon and uncivilise image at near end of the street.
A boy was doing his bowel in the public, with the parent around, the parent didnt do anything to stop him but instead ask him to move to a more shady area to continue his business!!
Next, the street sweeper saw it, she just went over there and sweep it up throw it to the nearest bin.
Theres no much emotion/reaction on her face, so i conclude that this kind of ' happening ' is very common.

The trip at the museum was quite an eye opening, saw quite a lot of impressive bronze and gold metalwork, the handcraft of that time was really professional, not forgetting the coffin of Zhen Hou Yi and learned about the culture of Wuhan.
