Remarkable trip with Lucy - We got a 2-day 1-night trip with Lucy. The first day we visited the giant buddha by boat then stayed in temple for the night. We got a chance to discuss with the second master of the temple which marks a lot in my spirit. Our guide Lucy is a local in Chengdu. She's so nice and thoughtful. She shared a lot of knowledge about the region. The second day started with a kungfu class with a master who's also the head of the kungfu school in the region. He also teaches kungfu in Germany. We learned a tiny bit of kungfu spirit. I'd sure continue in the future. The climb up on the Emei mountain is quite hard. I took the cable car while Lucy guided others by stairs. It was cold bit definitely worth. Thank you again Lucy!
