Wuhan City Tour - Yellow Crane Tower, Hubei Museum

Day 12:

Today was City Tour! We went to
Hubei Musem and the Yellow Crane Tower. We assembled in the morning at 7.15 am at the usual spot when we went for Lulin Shan and off we went to the city. It would was an hour ride there.



Upon reaching, we were told that the
muesum opens at 9am so we went to the park nearby to see the sceneries and sights to kill time first.


And thats me with the very nice background behind. :)
Finally it was the time for the museum! We have to go through a security check before able to gain entry to the museum.

After the museum tour, we headed over to the "
Xiao Chi Jie" and had our lunch.
That street sells many good and delicious food. How I wish this street was near our campus because I'm kind of getting bored of the food around here already.
Haha.

Stalls on the left and right of the streets with tables at the centre.


The payment here is by buying a card and topping it up with cash.
Same system as our campus.
I'm still wondering why don't they implement this for the bus transport.
Haha.



After lunch, we headed over to the Yellow Crane Tower.

Reflections:
As we were eating lunch at " Xiao Chi Jie ", me and my friends couldn't find a seat. When we eventually found one, we were already very famished. We wanted to all go get food together and nobody wanted to take care of the seat. My friend then suggested using a tissue packet to book a seat. Thinking back, it may worked in Singapore hawker centers or any eateries. However here, it would certainly not work and your tissue packet may even disappear. Another scenario I saw was that my 2 friends sat at a 4 table seat, with 2 empty seats, another 2 friends just join in after asking if they are allowed to sit. This is rarely seen in Singapore as many Singaporeans are more shy than the people here. That is a difference I noticed about the personality in people here over the people at Singapore.

Hi Erwin, your thoughts about wondering why the card system is not implemented in the bus transport system certainly hit a note. Try to probe and ask some of the Chinese that you meet. Could there be some implementation problems? Think about it. Regards, Lim Choon Boo

Yes I would try to get some feedback. I'll be meeting the china students for interaction activities tomorrow.
