A very steep slope up to the trail to Mt. Zhizhong

The view on the other side is amazing, too.

You can see Mt. Yu peaks on the summit of Mt. Zhizhong. The pointed one in the middle is Mt. Yu Main Peak.

Logging used to be very popular here. Luckily, there are still many magnificent trees survived.
Anusha Lee:
Nothing much to see at Mt. Dongshui
Anusha Lee:
Illegal logging is a serious issue in Taiwan.
Anusha Lee:
I managed to appreciate the beautiful tall trees
Anusha Lee:
We were very lucky to have a great weather during our hike. The light cast beautiful warm lights on the trees.
Anusha Lee:
If you visit Tefuye at the right time, you will get to see amazing fall foliage. As a tropical island, we still can see fall foliage in Taiwan
Anusha Lee:
This trail is mixed with trees from the tropical and temperate zones. I found many pine cones on the trail.
Anusha Lee:
The light made the ferns on the trees greener.
Anusha Lee:
Mt. Beixia, the triangulation stone is surrounded by trees
Anusha Lee:
There are many Ring Cupped Oak tree seeds, which are one of Formosa Black Bears' favorite foods

I took this photo during my needed break, and was awed by the light.
Anusha Lee:
One of our guides Fion stayed with me while I wasn't feeling well
Anusha Lee:
Taking group photos before our hike is a must

You will find public toilets near Zhizhong bus stop

We took a break and left our backpacks here before heading to Mt. Zhizhong
