Ting at lave i Taiping Mountain

We went end of Oct so it was misty and rainy which can be somewhat troublesome, it's 12 degrees so do wear thicker clothing! Because it was so misty it felt like we were in a Japanese mountain from the movie, we managed to go to the hot spring (around 25-30mins) + cook corn and eggs! recommend to bring along swimming cap,slippers and swimwear for the hot spring! also would be good to bring your own bread to go along with the corn and egg although they do sell Ba Zhang (and some basic burger buns over there). our driver qisong is very friendly and helpful with excellent driving skills! oh I really liked the bong bong train too! do note for the bong bong you'll have to go up the staircase - saw some other older visitors struggling but manage to climb it might not be suitable for people with difficulty climbing

Billetten til Taipingshan National Forest Recreation Area koster 200 NTD, hvis du køber den på stedet, så det er virkelig mere fordelagtigt at købe den på forhånd! Vi anbefaler på det kraftigste, at du køber den i forvejen.

Smuk natur – frodigt grønt – mange stier er nemme at gå. Bjergtoget skal man købe billetter til tidligt, da de ofte bliver udsolgt. Om efteråret er ahornbladene endnu smukkere.

Vejret var fint nede i dalen, men jeg glemte, at vejret på bjerget kan skifte hurtigt. Husk altid at have en let regnjakke med dig, uanset vejret. Hemlock-skoven var smuk, men desværre regnede det så meget, og den sidste del af stien var så mudret, at vi måtte give op. Jeg vil prøve igen næste gang.

Oplevelse: Fra indgangen til Taipingshan National Forest Recreation Area til Taipingshan Villa er der en køretur på 22 km, som tager cirka 40 minutter. Planlæg din tid omhyggeligt. Efter kl. 15.00, når der er tæt tåge, kan du ikke se vejen foran dig og må køre langsomt med 25 km/t, kun ved at følge midterlinjen, indtil tågen letter ved den midterste servicestation. Der er 7 tætte hårnålesving undervejs, så kør forsigtigt.

Billetterne blev udstedt hurtigt, og 6 personer i 2 biler kom nemt ind i parken. Taiping Mountain-området er super stort, og der er en gratis shuttlebus, der kører mellem Taiping Mountain Villa, parkeringspladsen og indgangen til Jianqing-stien, som man med fordel kan benytte – det er meget praktisk!

Jeg er forbløffet over dette sted og dets lighed med japansk kultur. Naturen betog mig og fik mig til at føle mig så rolig og forelsket i dette sted.
