The next pages of my diary in beloved Alishan !

Hiiiii, how about your recent days? For me, that is a succession of new discovering days. It is undeniable that Alishan is a paradise for explorers and mountaineers. This week we spent most of the mornings in hiking and climbing but still have not experienced all Alishan’s trails.
We started our trip when the outside-weather was below 18 degrees Celsius and grass still wetted in dew. It was terrible feeling. @-@ But we all knew that just only in early mornings could we capture the beauty of diamond dewdrops still remaining on leaves.


Diamonds on leaves ^-^

 One of the attractions in Alishan is the comfortable weather, hardly can you find anywhere  else in Taiwan that has the daily temperature just about 25 Degrees Celsius  in summer. The sunlight in Alishan is not too burning, just enough warming the atmosphere which was bathed in frost.

      And… these are the first rays of the sun when the morning was just dawning. The sky was very blue and the sun just like a water-drop in the deeply blue firmament.








 We skirted the zigzag railway and wooden trails which are neatly arranged and covered by the orange “monbretia” along the roadsides.





               Lyvia was trying to eat this bunch of flowers to suck out the beauty and I was trying to protect the flowers somehow. Can you guess the result? @$%#$^&*



             Finally, we reached a large station – which was called in a Chinese name but I could not translate so I called it “Sky station”, because from here, we could see the whole view of grandeur Alishan mountains and the sky below us. Here, wind  blew lightly as the breath and we nearly could touch the cloud.


  Are you very hot in this summer??? Let me share some Alishan’s cool for you!
     With love <3

Alishan in my eyes !!

There is no regret. @-@

Hey guys!!! What are you doing? What are you waiting for?? I have a special gift for youuu!

Kindly be noted that what I am going to do is not advertising! It is not also the calling or drawing someone coming with us. What I do is, not a big deal, just a normal sharing of a little foreign girl for the first time coming to Alishan, to Taiwan. I also do not want to describe too much, because in my opinion, nothing can capture the beauty of Alishan better than seeing in real. @-@

                                       "Peaceful landscape"

The first feeling I had with Alishan is the “feeling of PEACE”. In Alishan, what you see is not crowded street or skyscrapers, but is an amazing rhythm of forest. It is the concert with the sound of birds, of streams and animals here. If you are tired with treadmill of life and need somewhere which is quieter side of the city to find yourself and to fuel for your life, Alishan is truly the best choice!!

The nature gives Alishan a huge prefer with an extremely rich ecological system. Staying here for more than 1 week , I still can not remember how many types of plans, flowers and animals that I have seen and learned, but if someone intents to come here this season when I write this note, it is the paradise of “Montbretia” (in Chinese is “Ye gan chang pu”- I don’t know that is right or not @@) – a type of flower with orange color will satisfy your eyes. Someone said that Alishan is a miniature of Japan. Any Japanese characteristics you all can see in Alishan. They are Cypress, cedars, Maples and especially many many kinds of cherry blossoms – the symbol of Japan. 

                                         

                            Cherry blossom - not in Japan but in ALISHAN !!

I am so lucky that I had the opportunity to see the sunrise in the first morning I came to Alishan and that is one of the most fascinating sceneries which I have seen in my life. 

                                                              Fascinating sunrise !!!

I wish I were a poet or a musician that I could describe my feeling with this beautiful place, because I know it is thousand times worthier than these words.

                                          

If you are planning to come to Alishan, call me, baby!! I will be your free tour guide helping you explore this beautiful place. 

Note:  Saving your energy to say: “Oh my God” when coming here. And interestingly, my name in Taiwanese sounds like  “Oh my God” =))
