The Beautiful Scenery- Yang-Ming Mountain

This time, I'll talk about a beautiful mountain. I don't know that much about it, but it's quite beautiful. Whenever I feel bad, I'll ride my motorbike up there. Most of the time, I feel better and gain the power to deal with the tough tasks.


The Taipei city is just like a bowl, surrounded by mountains and Yang-Ming mountain is one of them. It is not only a mountain. There are lots of creatures in there. The authorities of Taiwan decided to take this mountain as a national park, which means everything inside the mountain belongs to the country. No one is allowed to take anything away home, even a piece of stone, no! Therefore, this park still remain very great condition.
The mountain is not quite high, but it's high enough to form very heavy fog. It's very romantic for lovers. The most remarkable part of this mountain is it has many kind of landforms. There are valleys, peaks, grassland, even hot spring. During March to May each year, the flowers bloom around the mountain. Thousands of people are willing to spend a whole day to line up, in order to take a look of the flowers there.

These pictures were took by my cell phone. They were not very clear after all... If I have time, I'll go to Yang-Ming Mountain again, and take more good pictures for you guys.


This is the picture of the hot spring. Actually, the Yang-Ming Mountain is a volcano mountain. The magma underground is still rolling. Fortunately, its energy decreases with time. It's weak and won't erupt again. The rest of its energy provide the heat of the hot spring.

As the time goes by, we can see the sunset. Each time I see this kind of screnery, I will have different feelings. I believe that everyone who sees this, the injured mindwill definitely be healed.




I didn't make the description very clear, that's because I don't know how to describ it. But I am very sure that it is a great place for the citizen to take a walk or something. It's right beside the city.

Also, this mountain has got it's historical story. I'll post the stories later while I am free~

Thanks for your reading~

My Beautiful Home Town

I've lived on this land for more than twenty years. The view of Taiwan is familiar to me, but might be strange to you. Thus I'll try to find some special pictures and try to illustrate to you.

You'll need to know where Taiwan is. I found this picture on google Image search. To tell the truth, Taiwan is an island, a very small island. We're just beside the main land China. For about half a century before, we were still one country. But now, we're not for some political reasons. I'll try to talk about this maybe in the articles in the future~ It's a totally different topic. The Pacific Ocean lies just right beside Taiwan. Therefore, we're one of the important transfer post around the area. Although we don't have much natural resources, we can increase our competitiveness and stand still while the depression. I'll try to do some wrap up of our history and post it to you maybe someday in the future too.

In Taiwan, we've got the flag. This flag has some very important meanings. First part is the "Blue" part. That is a symbol of the character of we Chinese people, we do everything fair and without artifice. Next, you see the white sun in the top left? The twelve triangles means the twelve months during the year. We hope that everyone will remember what we should not be frivolous all the time. Also, it represent the twelve martyrs during the revolution. We'll need to remember what they did. We must hold our faith still, remember how they fight for the democracy. And the red part, it represent the martyrs' blood. They bled to fight for us. How are we going to enjoy the democracy without them? I don't know, maybe you'll say it's kind of silly, but we really need to treasure what we got now.

The capital of Taiwan is Taipei. Taipei is a place at north of Taiwan. Recent couple years, we've build the highest building in the world called "Taipei 101". It's a famous building, maybe some of you might have heard of that! Right on last week, the company which owns Taipei 101 held a competition. There are 2046 steps of stairs to get the top of the building. The competition is to clime up to the top from the first step. Many great competitors come from all over the world. Few years ago, many architect didn't believe the possibility of Taipei 101. They thought that it's too hard for us. However, we've proved that we've got something. We've accomplish something that is great enough as a miracle.

Anyway, I'll try to tell you more next time. I need to take a break later~

Welcome~

Actually, I've created a couple of blogs before, but most of them are in Chinese. For some of my friends who speaks and reads only in English, they might be unable to share my feelings or stories. Therefore, I decided to post some of my words, some of my stories here. I can try to make more friends, also I can record my memories and share it to the world. Hope you'll find something interesting around here! Thanks!
