Yushan, as we know, is the highest mountain in Taiwan and even in East Asia.
She is famous for not only the height of 3952 meters(13,114 feet) that makes her outstanding
, but also the abundance of scenery in four seasons and the diversity of plants, animals and other special species.
This time, fortunately I had a chance to climb up Jade Mountain.
There were other four people coming with me, Sarah, Anny, Adam and David.
We set off last night to a simple hotel named 冠雲山莊 in Fenqihu(奮起湖).
It's already dark and late, when we got there.
We went to sleep immediately after we find our rooms.
There, I met a group of graduate students.
They had their first time of climbimg a mountain.
I had a a short but good talk with them though they were a little elder than me.
I started to anticipate the climbing tomorrow with these good guys.
Early in the morning, it's about 5 o'clock.
We woke up and had our breakfast.
And after that we set off to the starting place.
"玉山登山口"
It's a amazing place that made me kind of back up all my strengh to give it a shock just for the outstanding rock.
The way to the top of Yushan was really different from it to 奇萊南峰.
The trail was not so smooth and even a little bit steep.
The gravel and sun were not like the soft earth and cool shadow of leaves.
I still enjoyed the different kind of view and feeling though.
