With a Nike holiday but no school day off, Mihwa and I took the opportunity to do this crazy hike about an hour and a half outside of Taichung. Mihwa had done the hike before but I had no idea what I was getting into. Pretty hairy! Sore as hell the day after.
The one way tunnel leading to the trailhead
I think the sign says "dont fall off the cliff."
2180m = 7150 feet
A little poetic license perhaps?
Paperbag trees - in case you ever wondered where those came from.
Actually these are bags placed around the pear fruit to keep the birds and insects away. The trees are scaffolded to keep the branches, and fruit, close to the ground for easy picking. Very strange sight to see entire hillsides of trees covered in paper bags.
