Yangminshan

I have finally managed to properly venture out and about into the mountains behind us...

And they are actually rather high! This is Cising at around 1500mts.

Notice the semi active volcano type thing....

....only a few kms from our apartment.

This certainly makes me sleep soundly at night...

Further out towards the coast the views are quite spectacular...

This valley is a short 30min drive from our apartment.

Notice the trail following the river that will just HAVE to be checked out on another trip...

However..not all is good.

The nearest beach to us is 45 mins away, has great surf and could be beautiful...

But it is so badly polluted it's embarasing....



After seeing such beauty in the mountains this really upset me and I can't understand why the local Taiwanese don't do something about it?
