Summary of The Beauty of Mountains in Taiwan

Hello, everyone! This is the last blog article in this semester. I would like to summarize what I have written in the last nine weeks.

First of all, what is the topic I choose in the English Learning Project? That’s “The Beauty of Mountains in Taiwan” Why I choose this topic? Because I have lived in Beitou for more than eighteen years. Beitou is a place where is very near Yangmingshan National Park. Therefore, I have really easy access to reach Mother Nature. When I was a little kid, I went to the park with my grandparent every day. Since then, I was fascinated with all the beauties in the mountains. This is also an important reason why I study in department of Geography now. Because I want to explore much more fantastic and spectacular places in Taiwan or even all over the world while doing my research! That’s why I introduce many mountains in this semester. Next, I would like to review articles I have written in last nine weeks.

2. The Beauty of the Highest Peak in Taipei

3. Mt. Datun Multi-Peak

10. Summary

Since I live in Beitou, the place I started to introduce is Yangmingshan National Park. There are a great deal of happy memories when I went to this park. When I studied in junior high school, we would go mountain climbing together in spring and enjoy our lunch with a lot of beautiful cherry blossoms. Next, I introduce two of the highest mountains in Yangmingshan National Park- Mt. Quxing and Mt. Datun. I have climbed up these two mountains for more than ten times. We can overlook the whole Taipei Basin when we stand of the summit. We can see how beautiful Taipei is by ourselves! Then, I shifted the focus the highest mountain in Taiwan- Yushan. I introduce some special flora in the park. Later, I went to see the movie “Beyond Beauty – Taiwan from Above”, it’s a documentary worth every Taiwanese watch. Last, I intro Shei-Pa National Park. There are also abundant alpine glacier terrains such as blade ridges (刃嶺), horns (角峰), cirques (冰斗), and so on. We can explore these precious glacier terrains on Mt. Xue and Mt. Dabajian. 

This is the summary of my English Learning Project this semester. I will give a presentation to you in class next week. I’m now here thank for your reading for my last ten articles.
