Today is the day which i wake up the earliest among these days,

This is because we had join the trip of watching the sunrise...

About 5:50am,
we went up to the van which bring us to the destination...
On the way to watching the sunrise,

(He say is let us to acclimate the pressure,
as the height of YU SHAN is 2700++m...) 


Our FIRST stop...
Scenery of the SHEN MU....

Next STOP....


We had "walk" to YU-SHAN.....
(This is the border of Alishan and Yu-Shan)

This is a must photo of it... 
haha...


From there,
i took a photo of Alishan....

As these days,
Taiwan whether is quite cold,
and YU-SHAN is the highest mountain of TAIWAN,
there are some snow on it... hehe...

But most of it had been gone,
because being shine by the sun.. =p

Because of our nervous of watching the sunrise,
the driver (Coach)  drive us to the spot of watching the sunrise...
He told us,
this is the season of watching DIOMAND sun.....
Is true...
Wanna know why???
Let watch a video i made...
(I know is not good....)


While waiting the sun,
i took a snap of the moon... 


 This is call the lonely moon (孤独的月).....

After the sun rising,
we proceed to another scenery...
(Which also our last scenery...)


This is the HUSBAND and WIFE TREE...

After that,
we have a ride on the small train which is famous in ALISHAN...

We drop of at SHEN MU Station....


Now,
this is the first generation SHEN MU...

This is because of last year's landslide if not wrong....

And then,
we walk in to the giant tree forest...
I had took some of the giant tree's photo...
Because of too many,
so i just took down some of the scenery of the walk way.. =)






We didn't exactly walk finish the trail...
As the trail doesn't walk a circle...
And the whole trail need about 40 mins....

This is exactly how the place look like.. 
hehe...
(森林沐浴)


I like the feel of the train trail... 
Nice.. =p


A fun part of the finishing of the trail... =p

When we were back to the hotel is 11am..
Is almost time to go to another place which is being booked...

It include going to the bus station....
The place went is FEN QI HU....


Why is it called as FEN QI HU?
This is because of the landscape of the place...
It look like the 畚斗…… 
There doesn't not had any pond on it...
(Disappointed... =( )



Train found at the station...
(I think is not being used anymore...)



Here is some of the description of the train... 
(I only realize it when i help my mom to take photo... = =)


Decoration of the train body... 
hehe...
This is about TAIWAN had been 100 years old..


The station board...
But i'm wondering,
what does it mean about the distance.... 
It looks weird to me... = =


And i saw something interesting during walking at the OLD STREET...
BIG and normal size cube... 
(Now really know the things name... = =)


About an hour walk at Fen Qi Hu,
this is our next stop...


There is a temple beside it...

Er...
Say the truth,

But,
At least this is a experience...
Next time we will know how to manage the tour...

And so,
while waiting for my uncle to wake up,
my aunt went out and buy us some breakfast...
