The day before Alishan i had trekked around Yushan - some vey beautiful scenery, the mountains were in full bloom, and from the trail, when you look down, it was just neverending fields of red and crimson. Very lovely. And the cold, crisp air that makes you feel so alive. One moment in time that i can remember, stopping by the trailside late afternoon to pull on my gloves, the air was getting cold, the light almost fading, before continuing on. I wonder why its this moment that i remember with perfect clarity, perhaps its the early evening coolness setting in that makes me feel so alive, invigorated.
Spent the evening at the observatory mid way up Yushan - billions and billions of stars on the velvety dark night sky - beautiful. It was so quiet and black as pitch at the observatory - i had to make my way down with a torch, following the well trodden trail carefully, watching out for rocks and holes along the way. Finally made it to designated pick up spot where a van ferried us along dark, winding moutain roads to a lodge on nearby Alishan.
