Alishan is the most famous scenic spot here in Taiwan and I got amazed to see how far people travel just to watch the astonishing sunset, sunrise and see the cherry trees blooming!
It was an amazing holiday plus weekend here! On Friday was Ching Ming Jie, the day to pay a solemn homage to the beloved ones who have passed away! In this day the Taiwanese visit, clean and light incenses to their dearest ones! Along the road was possible to see the smoke of the incenses coming out of the cemeteries and long lines of cars! And I can tell that it seemed everyone left home in the same time. Every single place was full of people and food.
I left Taoyuan under rain to get there, only 250 km far, under shiny and bright day! The blue sky lighted my heart up and I was feeling the queen of the world, really!!
I took a lot of pics but for a better vision and understanding, I advise you to start from bottom to top! I never get the pis in a correct way!
The monkeys came to steal some nuts from the tourists!
I could stay there for hours and hours just looking atthose magnificent mountains!
I love the blue of the sky...remind me of Brasil
The best spot to watch sunrise atAlishan Forest Scenic Road!
Thank you God for all this!
Thank you!
Thank you for allow me to seethe splendor of your creation,
dear God!
Sunrise at Zhu Mountain peak!
The great apparatus people bring to see the stars!It was before 5AM
In front of the hotel, people preparing to see the sunset!It was before 4AM
I stayed in a hotel at the top of the mountain! On 3:20 the bedroom's phone called the whole hotel, waking us up to get in the bus to go to a scenic stop to watch the spectacular sunrise!
It was a great experience, I just loved! I'm those kind of people that think that I don't need words to explain any art work. It just talks by itself!
I know it's a little strange to an art historian to say that, but I truly believe that people don't need any guide to their emotions, just let it flows to its maximum without any holding! When any art work touches you, it's because you feel it in all its plenitude and it is what matters!
Well, this master piece of God's work doesn't need any explanation at all! It's a pleasure and privilege to be able to look at it and to feel it...but unfortunately the Taiwanese people don't share this opinion with me and there were guides talking all the time without stopping during the sunrise magic...The guide was speaking in Mandarin and using a megaphone to reach as many people as he could.
So, I tried my super best to be as far as I could from the group to listen to the extraordinary silence, that is the better soundtrack ever, produced for this show!

Impossible!

Two sister's pond!Says the legend that two sisters fell in love for one man,
and one of them killed the other one to get his love!

Incredible view, amazing feeling!I got touched for sure!
A practical joke to a Brazilian friend!A "Paçoca tree"
