The appearance of Taichung Mountain, a lake in Taiwan Province Province, is a miracle under the shock of nature.

After the 92 1 earthquake, a dammed lake was formed near the dog pit in Taiping District. Because it looks like Taiwan Province Province, it is called Taiwan Province Lake. Such a special spectacle made many people walk on the dog-biting pit trail and "see Taiwan Province Province".

In order to enjoy the "Panorama of Taiwan Province Province" and the beautiful scenery of Taichung City, many people will continue to walk along the trail and climb Santing Mountain, the nearest small white moon to the urban area.

7. Chiayi Shuiyang Forest

Have you ever seen a fairyland? If not, climb the Shuiyang forest between the mountain Linxi and Alishan yourself, and you will know what a fairyland is.

Shuiyanglin is a dammed lake formed by the 92 1 earthquake. The trees here have died, but they have formed a desolate beauty. On a sunny day, the clear water reflects the dead wood and blue sky, and the incredible beauty is fascinating; In the foggy weather, this pool of clear water in the foggy forest forms a surreal dream, as if being in an inhuman place.

However, if you want to see such a fairyland, you can't see it without ordinary efforts. The mountain roads in and out of the forest are rugged and steep, almost all of which are mud. Those who have no mountaineering experience should start from the most basic suburban mountains and make full preparations to meet the fairyland.

8. Jiaming Lake in Taitung

Jiaming Lake, the "angel's tears", is also called "the mirror of the moon" by Bunun people, which can be said to be the most famous and charming mountain scenery in Taiwan Province Province.

This mountain lake, the second highest in Taiwan Province Province, attracts many people to make pilgrimages because of its sapphire blue water color. Although it is very popular here, it is not easy to go there. It is almost impossible for people without mountaineering experience to see Jiaming Lake.

Generally speaking, it takes at least three days to complete a round trip to Jiaming Lake, and the long-distance ups and downs, coupled with an altitude of 2 or 3 thousand feet, are prone to the danger of mountain sickness. Climbing a mountain is even more difficult than climbing Yushan Mountain. But it's definitely worth the great hardships. Especially when I see the golden sunrise at the top of Xiangyang Mountain and the incredible color of Jiaming Lake, I can say that I have no regrets in my life.

When you come to Lan Yu, you can not only play on the island, but also try to walk to the mountains on the island and explore the mysterious lake.

The Great Tianchi Lake is called "Duwa" in Dawu language, which means "mountains and seas" or "the haunt of ghosts and gods". The lake was formed by the rain after the crater erupted. In the past, this place was forbidden to Dawu people, and the dead wood left on the lake added a lot of mystery to it.

To see the great Tianchi with your own eyes, you need to climb through many virgin forests with both hands and feet. It is safer to be led by a local guide. After all the hardships, the scenery in front of you is definitely worth it. On the vast pool surrounded by green forests, there are scattered dead branches, which have the feeling of unforgettable forests, but they are different, adding more original charm to the Pacific Islands!
