My last must-see in Taiwan was Alishan Mountain, where their sunrises are famous. A group of six of us traveled from the north and east coasts to enjoy this amazing feature of nature, and I must say, it didn't disappoint. I, unfortunately, had a cold and an upper respiratory infection that weekend, so I only toughed it out one day out of the two, but I'm so glad I did because it was well worth it! We awoke at 4 a.m. for the 50 minute hike up to the first look out point and this is what we saw:
We then went on a hike through Alishan Forest Recreation Area where we saw lots of trees, some even thousands of years old, and the Alishan Forest Railway, which was closed because of damage suffered during Typhoon Morakot in August.
This was such an amazing trip and I feel truly blessed to have been able to witness nature at its best!
