Travel to taiwan Tatun National Park - really enjoying

Tatun Natural Park is a part of Yangmingshan in northern Taipei. This park is named after Mt. Tatun, 3,543 feets high, and it is the second highest peak in Yangmingshan Park. As a “park within a park,” Tatun Natural Park is defined as an area in the western section of Yangmingshan National Park, extending from Mt. Tatun northward to Mt. Tsaikungkang. It offers excellent hiking and a chance to see some interesting birds, butterflies, plants, and wild animals. The hiking paths in the park are very nicely kept and offer peace and seclusion.

Most places in the park are accessible by road as well by hiking. One path leads to the top of Mt. Tatun. From there you have an excellent view of Taipei and its suburbs, as it fills the Taipei basin. This urban sprawl is impressive for its sheer size. After dark it becomes beautiful and transforms into a vast sea of twinkling lights.

The surrounding mountains are also beautiful, particularly when a breeze sways the grass which covers their slopes. In spring, this area is famous for its colorful variety of wildflowers and butterflies. In summer, the sounds of crickets and cicadas fill the air. Autumn is notable for its beautiful reddening leaves, while in winter the prime attraction is the variety of migratory birds and water fowl. Plant lovers are luckiest of all, as uncommon trees, shrubs, and grasses are here all year round.

Come on…TERESA TENG was a great singer..let us refresh her - let’s visit Taiwan Teresa Teng’s Grave

The nearest Taiwan has to Graceland, the mountainside tomb of Teresa Teng - an immensely popular singer who died in 1995, aged 43 - attracts a stream of the lady’s most ardent fans.

Teng (known to ethnic Chinese as Deng Lijun) was born in Taiwan in 1953, and remains the most famous female singer ever in Chinese communities around the world. In the 1970s, she was hugely successful - first in Taiwan, then in Hong Kong and Japan.

She also made inroads in the US market, and was held in special affection by Taiwanese soldiers posted to remote islands. In the 1980s, millions of pirated copies of her albums sold in mainland China, although she refused to perform there for political reasons. Her father, who introduced her to various forms of Chinese opera when she was a child, was a former Nationalist soldier from the mainland.

When she died - following an asthma attack while on vacation in Thailand - the news was reported in Time magazine and the New York Times, as well as by every Chinese-language media on the planet.

The popularity of this tomb is also unusual because, in ethnically Chinese societies, burial sites are traditionally avoided, even by relatives of the deceased, except during the annual Tomb Sweeping Festival.

The memorial includes displays of Teng’s stage clothes, a white statue of the late singer, and - of course - recordings of her most famous songs. Because many of her fans are elderly, the area has been made wheelchair-friendly.

The Wen-wu Temple is situated on the north mountainside of Sun Moon Lake. You will arrive at the Temple by climbing 365 stairs from the pier in front of the temple. In 1932, the government planned to bring the water from Cho-shui River into the lake for generating electricity.

However, once the water flowed in, it would flood two temples, which are Lungfen Temple and Yihua Temple. The local people thus decided to move the two temples. So, they built the Wen-wu Temple at the present address to take the place of the two temples.

The construction was finished in the June of 1938. Afterwards, the Wen-wu Temple had been through a reconstruction initialed in 1969 and finished in 1975.

The temple dedicates primarily to General Kuan Yu and also to Confucius and General Yueh Fei. The statues of the divinities in the temple all cast by copper. The Confucius’ hall in the Wen-wu Temple is the only one, which opens all the time for the pilgrims. During the time when major exams were held, the students always come here and pay religious homage to Confucius.

The stone-made statue of two dragons is worth appreciating. Mounting the hill behind the Wen-wu Temple, you can enjoy the scene of the whole Sun Moon Lake.
