The Taiping Shan, where is located in
Yilan, is the famous mountain for traveler and climber. Due to the rich natural
resource, it was the one of the three main forests to provide the woods for
Japan. Thus, the traffic construction was relatively complete than the other
mountains. Furthermore, the economics of Yilan at that age were influenced by
this industry. Unfortunately, the strong typhoon hit last year had damaged enormous
public facilities and trees. We were not able to ensure the progress of the restore
prior to the departure. However, the trip was much easier which we went through
the main trail instead of challenging the difficult route this time.
I hadn’t ever been there until the mountain
club took a trip at there. Last time, we went through the way that few people
know it, but the routine passing by two beautiful lakes on the mountain. We
even encamped at one of them. It was an extremely cold night in my life. When
we got up on the next morning, everything we had put outside the camp was
freezing. Additional, we arrived at the trailhead on one o’clock in midnight,
which made us feel tired in the beginning of the entire trip.
