Image Source: YiLan, Taiwan by Me – This image has been enhanced!
Thanks to my brother. He took me to the wonderful place in YiLan Taiwan. While I am traveling in Taiwan for Chinese New Year, he is very kindly took me to the mountain. The forest in YiLan is very beautiful.
The air is breath taking. It’s so fresh that you can smell the pine tree. There is no doubt that breath the fresh air makes me happy. The only thing that is not perfect is a missing person. I wish my wife were here with me to enjoy the raining afternoon. It is very uncommon to see the rain like this in the hot sunny Arizona.
The forest in YiLan is very old. There are over 20 very old trees in the forest. Those trees are named after some famous ancient people in the Chinese history book. Based on the age of the tree, the names are different. It also shows the personality of the famous people. It’s a great trip that I don’t have much to say. I was so enjoy the fresh air in the forest.
Thanks to my dear brother.
Feel free to see my photos at 2008 YiLan Taiwan.
Congratulations. Nice to have such a thoughtful brother. It is indeed a pity that your wife could not be with you. Don’t give up hope. You will take her too one day. The photographs are breathtaking too.
I like the photo with the ducks and swan. Very nice.
By the way, something seems to be wrong with your Feedburner feed. The URL took me nowhere. Either that, or Feedburner is having problems, but I haven’t noticed a problem elsewhere (yet anyway).
@DCR:
Thank you for remind me. I did not know there were any problems with my feed. It seems fine to me.
@Dining tables:
Thank you! My wife and I love to travel. I am sure we will come again!
Terence – congrats on some spectacular photos.
@Al at 7P:
Thank you! Everyone can take a great photos at place like that. I love photography, but still learning some tips and tricks.
I love nature and YiLan is so breathtaking. The scenery is so spectacular. I thought only Australia and New Zealand have black swans but you have them in Taiwan too.
@Jesie:
I really hope I can put my experience into English words. It will make more sense to describe the feeling in words. I wish to visit New Zealand once day. I have seen so many great photos about that place.
I’m not good in Mandarin but I think most Chinese idioms have deep meanings and are hard to express in English. I wonder whether an online translation would do a good job.
I’m sure you and your wife will love NZ, epecially the South Island.
@Jesie:
It’s valentine’s day! Wish you a great time at anywhere. Are you traveling to Asia again? I thought you are back to USA. Have a nice trip to anywhere you want.
Great photos. My brother also guided me on a vacation in Taiwan awhile back. The National Museum was amazing. I also walking for quite a ways in a hot spring resort town which stunk of sulfer
Your photos are absolutely stunning! I did not realize Taiwan was so beautiful.
@New Zealand Accommodation:
Every places in the world have their own beauty. YiLan Taiwan is just one of them. It was a great trip to enjoy some smoky lake view.
I am well aware that everywhere has beauty, and I love to travel with a camera and find those special place in every country. I look forward to getting to Taiwan myself one day!
@New Zealand Accommadation:
Thank you for stopping by again. You should go to Taiwan as early as possible. It’s getting crowded. More people from China will go to Taiwan.
Cool, this looks like a lovely spot, do you know the exact name of the forest?
@TTaiwan
Sorry. I actually forgot what the place is called. Your link was wrong so I correct it. Great design works! Thank you for stopping by!
