Mt. Datun Multi-Peak

Hello everyone! This is the last week introduce Yangmingshan National Park. I would like to introduce Mt. Datun Multi-Peak trail and share some of my experience when I went to Mt. Datun this winter vacation. This Chinese Year, after College Entrance Examination, I went mountain climbing with my best junior high school classmates to relax our tight mood. This is our climbing route:

We started our journey at 7 o’clock. That was a rainy and foggy day, and the roads are very wet and slimy that we can hardly walk. All along the trail covered with miscanthus(芒草), and the ground are all mud and water.

←Beautiful spider web was covered with dew above

Besides, the fog was very thick. It’s really difficult for us to see where the road ahead. As long as one of us was not cautious, he might slip legs in the air. It’s usually just taken ten minutes away but that we walked more than two hours.

After going tough a difficult process, we finally climbed to the top of the mountain. Looking ahead is the most beautiful sea of clouds that I have ever see! All this hard work is worth! That day we climbed a total of four mountain. Eight hours of adventure was one of my wonderful memories in winter vacation after finishing College Entrance Exam.
