We carried out a lot of physical activities today until I developed phobia towards staircase. Woke up at 4am, we departed to Lembing- a dead town according to Jyo Lyn at 5pm. It took us about half an hour to reach there. Our first challenge was none other than conquering the Bukit Panorama. We didn’t bring any torchlight but luckily we met a lot of Samaritans who helped us along the journey. We were able to reach the top after 40minutes sthg and our first reward was the picturesque scenery and the breathtaking sight.
Amazing sunrise. This sunrise was totally different from the one i saw on TV drama in which the round hot Sun rising slowly into the azure sky. This hiking had corrected my previous misperception.WooHoo
Our next destination was the hanging bridge and the Lembing Museum. The museum is awesome and we were exposed to all the stuffs related to mining, like the equipments and underground structure of mining site. Next, we went to Gua Charas. At first, we decided not to conquer the cave because the staircase is too steep but at the end, we were informed by the worker that there is another new route to the cave. The old route consists of 180 steps and the new route consists of 130 steps but we were required to pay 2bucks per person.

All the equipments and oxygen tank carried by mining workers. I just cant imagine how could they work with the heavy oxygen tank on their backs.
Everyone look at the mirror.One, two, three...Here is our masterpiece
In front of the mining tunnel.
Up: The much much safer new route of Gua Charas.
Down: The steep and dangerous staircase.

We had conquered Gua Charas. Profuse sweating again. How much calories we had burnt. All BTN food were digested successfully.
Next, we went to Panching waterfall. Too bad we didn’t bring any shirt and not able to play water there. How nice it would be if we could splash water at each other and at the same time eliminate the scorching heat.
The last destination before we headed home for a rest was 太上老君庙. The temple is famous for its longest dragon in the world. It was said that luck will be bestowed on people who have successfully finished the long journey from the tail to the head of the dragon. However, we were damn exhausted and not able to walk along the body of the dragon from the head to the tail. So we choose to take the shortcut instead. This temple is definitely a good place to take pictures and here are the pictures taken.
