Wulin - Taiwan Mountains, Sep 2006

Wulin - Taiwan Mountains, Sep 2006,
originally uploaded by Stranger in Taiwan.

Spend a weekend in the central mountains of Taiwan. In a small valley called Wulin. The mountains enclosing the valley are up to 3500 meters high, but without a permit you are not allowed to enter any trail in Taiwan :-(. So I did some small hiking on the "tourist" trails and some biking. Next time I will target the 2nd highest mountain in Taiwan, which is a 2 days tour from the valley.

Together with my colleague May, I spent a very nice day on the North-East coast of Taiwan. It was very windy, since a typhoon was passing close by. Therfore we had the rare opportunity of a clear sky.

First time experiencing the freedom of having a car. I did a one day trip into the mountains near Hsinchu. This is a reservoir called Shimen. I found some nice places to explore with my mountain bike (to be bought).
