Mt. Dabajian and Cui Pond in Shei-Pa National Park

Hello, everyone! today, I will continue to introduce Shei-Pa National Park to you!

Mt. Dabajian, which is 3492 meters above sea level, is referred to as one of Taiwan's natural wonders. Connected to its side is a Mt. Xiaobajian elevation of 3418 meters. In spite of its exclusive and majestic shape, the rock and geological structure of Mt. Dabajian are also very special such as stratification (層理), cleavage (劈理), fold (褶曲) and joints (節理).





Cui Pond, a splendid cirque lake, is the highest alpine pond in Taiwan which is over 3500 meters above the sea level (even higher than Mt. Dabajian). It's just like a jewel in the mountain located on the west edge of Mt. Xue Main Peak. Despite the small size of the pond, but the pond is alive. Cui Pond is also the source of the largest river of the central Taiwan- Daan stream. Mountain climbers like to stop, take pictures, meditate, or even sleep next to her here over the night. Surrounded by the pond is the largest pure stand (純林) of Yushan junipers in Taiwan. When we go to Mt. Xue, if we have extra times and efforts, in addition to climb up the main peak, we must come to Cui Pond to and see how astonishing this pond is!

Last week I link a video which is time-lapse about Mt Dabajian.
This week I link another one which is a time-lapse shot on Dasyueshan (大雪山)
