Alishan Mountain’s Breath, Between Clouds and Forests

#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.
