Alishan National Park
The lady boss drove us up to the park and left us there to roam around ourselves.
It was colddddd. At least better than it being hot, like what we experienced at Kenting. Haha.
Map of the routes we could take.
I somehow wished I live somewhere that is surrounded by trails and trees like this.
China cedar is...
This.
Like cannot see anything right. Haha.
Next attraction. Sister Ponds.
This is the Younger Sister Pond.
I'm kinda amused by the sign below.
It says no swimming at the top.
I don't know why anyone will want to swim in it.
I wouldn't want to.
It just doesn't feel right.
And next, the Elder Sister Pond. Or Older Sister. I don't know.
Cold but still very sunny.
Here's what they tell you about the Sister Ponds.
Word for word -
These refer to two high mountain lakes in the Alishan area. The legendary story goes like this: Once upon a time, there were two aboriginal sisters falling in love with one special man but neither of them wanted to break their own sister's heart while herself not being able to say no to the same handsome fellow. So they each jumped into one of the lakes to end the story. People were deeply touched and called these two lakes Sister Ponds.
I laughed while typing that. Sorry.
I mean, if the guy's so special (and handsome) he wouldn't allow this to happen right. He should just not touch BOTH of the girls, end of story. Why must the girls jump and not him? Maybe if he jumped into one of the ponds we'd have a Handsome Pond to see.
Tadpoles?
This is the Three Brothers.
And the Four Sisters.
Check out my cold friend.
And me.
A stump which looked like a pig.
Forever One Heart. Hahaha. This was an attraction of two trees which grew into a heart shape between them. Win.
I don't know why so many of these things come together at one place, but still.
RC is supposed to be in the left of this picture below!
Tall trees.
This is the only school in Alishan. Siang-lin Elementary School.
And a temple.
Mochi.
There was a dodgy bridge along the way.
The sign in Mandarin stated that only six people are allowed on the bridge, obviously at any one time.
And the sign in English says, don't overtake 6 men. But you can overtake 6 women.
Or you can overtake 5 persons, even if there is one guy in front of you. HAHAHAHA.
Okay, okay, enough.
Now say hi to...
Yes No. 21. Say hi to No. 21.
Then we waited for the train to go back to where we started.
神木车站.
Choo choooooo~
Some dodgy looking flower that tells you not to touch it.
But I don't know if it's poisonous or not.
The trunk of the Alishan Sacred Tree.
It was supposed to be standing until 1997 that it fell apart, thanks to lightning and rainfall.
Oh here comes the train.
Simple interior.
Inside. Wa lao my lips damn thick.
The ticket.
And the main station.
Since we had time to spare before the lady boss picked us up, we took photos here and there.
2.17km above sea level.
And we went back.
