Yushan National Park in Taiwan is a beautiful travel destination w
112
Yushan National Park (Chinese: 玉山國家公園; pinyin: Yù Shān Gúojiā Gōngyuán) is one of the nine national parks in Taiwan and was named after the summit Yushan, the highest peak of the park.[1] The park covers a total of 103,121 hectares including large sections of the Central Mountain Range.[2] The park contains over thirty peaks more than 3,000 meters in elevation, and two-thirds of the area within the park is above 2,000 meters. The elevation difference in the park is 3,600 meters, and there are many canyons, cliffs, and valleys.
Because its remote location and entry control, Yushan National Park is not among the most visited national parks in Taiwan. Even so, the park still attracted 1,044,994 visitors in 2015.[3]Geology[edit]
Jade Mountain (Yushan) is Taiwan's tallest mountain at 3,952m (12,966 ft).
Taiwan, which owes its existence to the power of plate tectonics, remains a place of regular seismic activity. Examples of geological features such as fault lines, joints, and folding can be seen throughout Yushan National Park:
Great Precipice (大峭壁) — Great Precipice (23.4683339 120.9396649) is located 1.2 km before Paiyun Lodge (排雲山莊) on the Yushan Trail. A precipitous cliff with fossils of ancient marine species and a few wavy marks in the rock can still remind us its oceanic past.

Fault scarp in Laonong (荖濃) between Main Peak and Batongguan (八通關)
Fuzi Cliff (父子斷崖) and Guanshan Cliff (關山斷崖)
The southern Cross Island Highway and Yushan Scenic Highway both offer countless opportunities to witness the area’s special geological features.[4]
Hydrology[edit]
Yushan area is an important watershed of main river systems in central, southern, and eastern Taiwan.[5] It is the water sources of Zhuoshui River (濁水溪), Kaoping River (高屏溪), and Siouguluan River (秀姑巒溪). The Chenyoulan (陳有蘭溪), Jyunda (郡大溪), Nanzaisian (楠梓仙溪), Laonong (荖濃溪), and Lekuleku(拉庫拉庫溪) rivers are all young rivers from Yushan with V-shaped river bed. Jinmentong cliffs (金門峒斷崖) is a unique landmark along the Chenyoulan River (陳有蘭溪). It was formed when Chenyoulan River (陳有蘭溪) cuts through land traversed by a fault line, it showcases one of the best examples of headway erosion. Jinmentong cliffs (金門峒斷崖), Yunlong Waterfall (雲龍瀑布) and Yinyu Waterfall (乙女瀑布; also known as 七絲瀑布) are some popular scenic points in the park.
Alpine lakes such as Dashueiku (大水窟), Tafen Pond (塔芬池), Jiaming Lake (嘉明湖), and Tienchih (天池) are formed from rain and melting snows in the shadows of surrounding mountain peaks. These lakes provide animals including visitors precious water from the mountains. However, the ecosystem around them is fragile and need further protection.

Sanqingshan Mountain, 三清山 China, World's Greatest & Easist Hiking Trail.
The scenic cliffside paths at Sanqingshan is an easy hiking trail for the whole family. It offers breathtaking vistas of one of the most beautiful mountain ranges in China. The sacred Taoist mountain Sānqīng Shān is located 40 kilometres north of Yushan County in Jiangxi Province. The magnificent mountain scenery can be experienced by walking the pathways and stairs that have been carved by hand out of the granite face.
The walkway is yet another Chinese engineering marvel. The extensive paths traverse high along the mountain sides and ridges offering visitors mind blowing vistas in what must be one of the greatest mountain treks in the world!
Sanqing means the Three Pure Ones in Chinese as Mount Sanqing is made up of three main summits: Yujing, Yushui, and Yuhua, representing the Taoist trinity.
A Chinese phrase “三峰峻拔、如三清列坐其巅” (“Three steep peaks, like the Three Pure Ones sit the summits”) explains why it was named San Qing. Amongst the three hills, the Yujing hill (1817 meters above sea level) is the highest.
Mount Sanqing has been classified as a national park of China. It is a famous honeypot as well as a shelter for animals and plants. It contains more than 2300 species of plants and 400 species of vertebrates. The total area of Mount Sanqing is 229 km². It became a National Geopark in 2005 and a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2008.

TAIWAN: Temples and Mountains
Taiwan is a small island. It is about 500 kilometers from north to south and 100 — from west to east.
Practically all western coast represents a huge urbanized zone. It is sometimes difficult to distinguish, where one city comes to an end and another begins. But should we move from the coast, slightly towards the central regions, rural areas with rice fields and palm groves instantly begin to appear. And a little more further to the east — the rivers, lakes and mountain ridges.
Our travel begins in Taipei. Exactly here, in the capital of Taiwan, there is an international airport — the air gates of the country.
There are no more than one or two historical sights here. But the existing ones are treated with big respect. Temples have remained best of all. Both Buddhist and Confucian. All, small and even absolutely tiny, family temples as well as the cult complexes with pagodas, pavilions and courtyards, occupying huge territories.
The grandiose memorial Chiang Kai-shek in the center of Taipei, near the Presidential palace, the National Theater and the Concert hall reminds of the Lincoln's memorial in Washington.
The first stop is the city of Zhanghua.
In the park, on the mountain of Eight Trigramms or in Chinese Baguashans, they have built a grandiose temple complex.
Lukang was a seaport since ancient times. Therefore, it is not surprising that the main temple is dedicated not to Confucius or even to Buddha, but to the Chinese goddess of the sea — Matzu. However, she is not the only one here. The temple is filled with images of numerous Chinese gods and spirits. Literally, everyone will find his/her god patron here.
The Sun Moon Lake is one of the largest tourist centers of Taiwan.
The National Nature park of Alishan, occupies the territory of about 400 square kilometers, near the Yushan Mountain — the highest mountain top of the island.
Tainan — the fourth largest city of Taiwan, and one of the oldest in the country. In the second half of the 18th century, it was the capital of the Dongning State.
The City of Kaohsiung, with a population of about three million people — is the largest port and industrial commercial center of the southern part of Taiwan. It is rightly regarded as the southern capital of the country.
On the territory of the Chengqing Lake, there are several islands connected with the coast by bridges.
The travel around the Island of Taiwan is coming to an end in Kaohsiung. And the project World without Visas continues. Ahead are the new travels across the countries, visa-free for Russians.

TAROKO NATIONAL PARK DAY TRIP FROM HUALIEN! | Taroko Vlog
Taroko National Park is Taiwan's most famous and popular National Parks. I stayed in the City of Hualien on the East of Taiwan for 2 nights and took a day trip to Taroko National Park.
It's popular to visit Taroko by Moped or Car but because I was travelling alone I decided to visit using the Public Bus.
I caught the bus at 8:30am in Hualien and headed straight to Taroko Visitor Centre. During my day in Taroko National Park I did 4 walks:
Shakadang Trail
Swallows Gorge
Heliu Camping to Lushui
Lushui to Tianxiang
I took the public bus between most of these trails too making the National Park much more accessible to a solo traveller in Taiwan like me!
I enjoyed the National Park, it wasn't the best day hiking I've ever had but I'm glad I got to see it. If I was to do it again I'd go on a moped or in a car with a group of people.
I stayed at World Inn Hostel in Hualien which I really liked and would recommend!

State Police Interrupt a Gold Mining Operation in Oregon!
Our mining claim neighbors called the Cops! People living on the other side of the river where our mining claim is and not liking our mining, called the cops. It appears our neighbors just did not want their liberal utopia disturbed so they call the cops to harass us. The police were very cool as I knew one of them from checking our permits on another river couple months earlier and an Oregon DEQ meeting he showed up at. The rude lady yells to at from other side of river you need a permit to do that...we had them of course. She also told cops we were disrespecful and rude to her...which was totally false. She made up her own narrative about what was happening to justify her being annoyed. Liberal tactic # 3, change the narrative or just plain lie!
This is the short version of the video, filmed on the Applegate River in Oregon while we were LEGALLY GOLD MINING!
In the video, it is a continuous video, shot on my GoPro camera that I was wearing on my head. The video shows me mining and moving around with no editing to show what actually goes on while mining. Then my buddy is helping me move rocks while I'm using a sub-surface dredge...then the cops show up , and I tell him is where the action starts.
UPDATE Jan 1st, 2015: In response to some of the comments saying we are uneducated, rednecks and other stuff...the guys in the video are as follows. One is a millionaire CPA, another a self employed business owner, two others are also self employed and owns a body shop and the other an internet marketer and freelance videographer, and lastly one is the son of the CPA guy and currently in college.
Oregon Mining Law:
Next time this happens, I will ask the State Police to cite the offending people who disrupt our mining operation based on this Oregon Mining Law:
ORS 517.133 Interfering with a mining operation. (1) As used in this section, lawful mining operation means any small scale mining operation that is in full compliance with state and federal laws.
(2) A person commits the crime of interfering with a mining operation if the person intentionally:
(a) Interferes with a lawful mining operation; or
(b) Stops, or causes to be stopped, a lawful mining operation.
(3) Interfering with a mining operation is a Class C misdemeanor. [1999 c.354 §6]
Here is the GoPro camera I was using:
阿里山 | Alishan | Explore Chiayi | Taiwan Travelling
Alishan Township (Chinese: 阿里山鄉; pinyin: Ālǐshān Xiāng) is a mountain indigenous township in Chiayi County, Taiwan. Alishan National Scenic Area covers most, but not all, of the township and also parts of neighboring townships.
Alishan is traditional territory of the Tsou people, whose rich oral histories describe the migrations of each ancient clans' ancestors into the area between Yushan and the Chianan Plain. Originally, each clan had its own settlement, with the first multi-clan town, Tfuya, only forming approximately 1600 CE.[1] The earliest written record of the Tsou dates from the Dutch occupation, which describes Tfuya as having approximately 300 people in 1647. Ethnologists have attempted to reconstruct the development of Tfuya, proposing that each stage of clan migration could be equivalent to three or four generations of family.
