Yesterday we got back from Wuhan, so I can blog again. There we did not have Internet access. It was a real fun week. The first day we did some sightseeing to Wuhan’s most famous sight, the Yellow Crane Tower. That is a quite impressive 6 story high pagoda. Acutally from the outside it looks like 6 floors but inside are really 9 floors, which resembles the two most lucky numbers in China.

The next we took off to Wudang Shan, where the famous Wudang Temple is on the mountaintop. Some of you might know it from the movie "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon". I really hoped to meet Zhang Ziyi there, but unfortunately I didn’t ;-). Instead I got interviewed by a camera team from the local TV station about travel experiences.

We spend there 2 days exploring all the Temples. Wudang Shan is quite a huge mountain area and you need to take the bus to get around. I read that the whole mountain covers 400km.

Back in Wuhan we spend the Mid-Autumn-Festival with familiy according to Chinese tradition. It was really nice and we had some good dinner with my wifes parents, grandparents, Uncles and Aunts. On Saturday, we went shopping the whole day. Here in China they have these promotions around National Day, that you buy for 188 Yuan and you get a 150 Yuan cupon back. So using this we bought stuff for almost 4,500 Kuai, which equals roughly 450€, but only spend around 200€. Quite nice, and we bought a lot of things.
Sunday was our flight back to Shanghai. Actually we chose the flight that we would be back home for the Formula 1 race, but, Murphys law, the flight was just delayed by 1h. So by the time I got home, the race was just over. So I had to see Schumi’s engine blow today in the moring news. What a huge shame that is. But hope is the last thing to die…
