A Li Shan

A Li Shan

Trying to reach the top of A Li Shan, the famous mountain in Taiwan, I got on a van which was driven by the son of the village head. The endless golden rice field just like the background of Microsoft windows shone its light riotously through the window of the van. Although it is the most common view in rural area of Taiwan, I screamed and surprised on its beauty, kept "Wowing" and took numerous photos to record its beauty. After passing through the rice field the son of the village head said the rangy Areca that the aboriginal loves the most symbolized the foot of the A Li Shan.

Suddenly, a mist was snaking around the swirling, narrow road gradually with a light drizzle and becoming a mysterious maze which blocked all my sights from the van. "The thick mist and rain is very usual in the middle of the mountains with such height, it will be fine" the driver smiled while I was worrying about the unexpected change of weather would destroy my hope for watching sunset. After listening to the comfort sound from the driver, my tensioned heart and shoulder were started to relax. Then I focused on the view again. However, houses and tea fields were the only thing that I could barely see. I was curious on the reason why people would live in a place with such uncertain weather which might actually be extremely dangerous.

Receiving signals from the sun, we passed through the mist and continued the trip. After reaching the top of the valley I noticed that the sun was going to set. Being reflected by the distant, giant buildings in the city, the lights created a new sea level with its orange-red fire and glowed all over the sky with the enthusiasm from the nature. While the angels also wanted to join the party, they leaked their transparent rays through the chinks of the clouds and blessed the people who lived in the valley.

The car then stopped in a much higher place. The scene that I saw when I got off the car was too stunning which made me hardly to believe. In the middle of 2 tree trunks  was fully crowded with the cotton candy liked clouds which floated calmly as the waves of a warm sea. Since it was so closed that I was yearned for touching and embracing, I ran down a little bit by chasing the golden lights emitted by the sunset and searched for a wider view. The sunset dyed the cotton candy liked clouds into orange-red, then purple until the night came. I was sitting in front of the scene, staring into the clouds, enjoying the fresh breath and the peace it brought to my soul. Silent. Please be silent.
