Hiking Adventures: Wulai and Yangmingshan

A few weekends ago, we went to Wulai, a little town within an hour of Taipei by bus. For us it was a perfect place to get away for the day.



We took a "log tram" to see a waterfall and enjoyed some Taiwanese tea and homemade mochi...





...did a little hiking...



...explored a temple and visited the aboriginal museum...



...and soaked in the natural hot spring with the locals.




(This was the changing room).

Yesterday, we went hiking at Yangmingshan National Park (again, just about an hour outside of Taipei).



I am continually astonished by how easily accessible the mountains and jungle is from the city. Since I'm not exactly a city-girl, I am thankful for these "nature get-aways." They leave me feeling refreshed and ready for another week!

  2. Yikes! Look at that changing room. When I consider all that has happened the last 365 days, it makes my head spin. So glad you're keeping a record of your adventures. ~ Mom
