A Few Thoughts after Watching Beyond Beauty Taiwan from above

           Hello, everyone! Yesterday I went to see the movie “Beyond Beauty Taiwan from above (看見台灣)” with my friends. Although this film was a little boring, but I think it is worth watch by yourself. Chi Po-Lin (齊柏林) worked very hard to shot this film. Some indescribable and unbelievable sights really opened my eye. Some sights that I have heard about but never seen.

           Such as reservoir sedimentation (水庫泥沙淤積),  garbage landfill, gravel illegal poaching (砂石非法盜採).

I was really shocked by these scene. After watching this movie, hope we can love and protect Taiwan together and leave a beautiful island to the next generation. These are a few thoughts after watching this documentary. By the way, movie soundtracks are quite wonderful!

This week I would end my introduction to Yushan National Park.

Mt. Jade Main Peak is almost up to 4000 meters high above sea level. Overlooking from the summit, valleys, mountains, forests, clouds are all in our sights. The final scene of the movie “Beyond Beauty Taiwan from above” was shot on the top of Mt. Jade Main Peak. A group of aboriginal children circled and sang vigorously and joyful. At that moment I was quite impressed by this beautiful song. 

Mt. Jade is not only a symbol of Taiwan but also a symbol of the spirit of the Taiwanese People.


This is a small and short episode in the movie.
