Aunt Aom complained... Alishan at Zhushan Station and Mt. Okasawara. Anyone who has the energy to walk up to see the clear sky, the air is cool and comfortable, even in the afternoon. This point is a viewpoint for sunrise. There is a train service only in the morning. Aunt didn't read the information. Walked in a hurry. There is a trail to walk and walk up the road as a slope to climb up. It took more than an hour. 555 Since we've already walked, let's go. When we went up, wow, it was beautiful. The sky was clear, the fog was thick, the air was cold and cold. The train station was also grand and magnificent. Walking up to Mt.Okasawara was beautiful. There was a wide photo spot. You can take 360-degree photos. I recommend coming up to see it.

Never thought I’d catch cherry blossoms outside Japan—this was in Alishan, Taiwan! On April 23, just as the season was ending, I found myself surrounded by blooming sakura, with the legendary King of Sakura in full glory and rare pink blossoms lining the trail.

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 The beauty of Alishan lies not in the sense of accomplishment of reaching the summit in a hurry, but in the tranquility of being embraced by nature as you walk step by step into the mountains. At 5:30 in the morning, standing on the Zhushan sunrise viewing platform, the sky first turned a touch of orange, and then the whole sea of ​​clouds rolled up. When the sunlight penetrated the fog, it seemed as if the whole mountain woke up. Go down the mountain and walk along the trail into the Shenmu area. You will see red cypress trees that are hundreds or even thousands of years old standing quietly like silent guardians. The air is filled with the moist scent of wood, and every step is like walking into the depths of time. I took a short nap in Numadaira Park in the afternoon. The distant mountains were dark blue, and the wind blew gently, making even my thoughts become transparent. The scenery of Alishan cannot speak, but it uses light, mist and tree shadows to quietly tell us: slow down, the mountain is always there.
