At the highest peak,  Wu Lin






Although winter is over,  there are still traces of snow along the moutain. Freezing cold and guess the temperature is below 8 degrees.  It takes less than 10 mins and we have to rush back to the car.

Next we continue to He Huan San  合欢山




















Ranta Fir - 碧綠神木 巒大杉 -  about 3200 years












Tienhsiang  天祥 is within the Taroko Gorge. It is also a rest stop for taxis, tour buses, and private motor vehicles. 



The moutains are mainly marble formation.  







Very big marble rocks can be seen everywhere at the foot of the mountain. The whole area is being prohibited by the local government
