4 Days Disappearance - Day 4

After breakfast at the hotel, we went further up the mountain. Because we were one of the few tourists there that day so we decided to teach my sister how to drive since there were no cars on the road anyway. She was lucky, she got to start driving on mountain roads, when I was learning I had to start from a car park!


At the mountains

When we reached the top, there was a fairly big pond there. The people called it Sky Pond, it was said that the water in that pond never dries up even in dry season due to some spiritual force. When we arrived there it was around 10am and the surface of the pond still had a layer of thin ice on it. I guess the reason the water never dries up is because of the low temperature there also the pond is surrounded by trees so the sunlight can not reach it directly. The moisture level on the mountain is also quite high so I think that is how the pond keeps getting it's water supply.

Afterwards we head back, packed our things and started our journey home. I volunteered to drive again and man it was fun. Going downhill with all those turns, felt like Tokyo Drift except with no drifting. My dad then decided to take us to a water park since we had nothing else planned might as well. On our way to the water park, we stumbled upon a scare crow display. The scare crows were made by the local prison, it was quite pro to be honest.

We then carried on to the water park. The main purpose of the park is swimming, there are many pools and fountains for kids to play. However it's winter right now so the pools were empty . There are also bikes for hire, boat rides, the park is quite big. We had little time left so we just circled the park then carried our journey home.


Ahoy there
