My Hometown, My Love - National Park in Taiwan
There are nine National Park in Taiwan, including sun-kissed Kenting, hot spring Yangmingshan, tallest Yushan, marble gorge Taroko, silver forest Shei-pa, wetland Taijiang, battlefield monument Kinmen, the first marine national park Dongsha and the latest one opening on this June, South Penghu Marine. Believe me or not, each of them is too unique and marvelous to delete anyone of them out from my bucket.
Taiwan is small but big, we can enjoy wide-range varied scenic within a compact region. I'm going to introduce two of them that one is in northern Taiwan, the other is in southern Taiwan, Yangmingshan and Kenting national park.
First of all, "Shan" in Chinese means mountain. Yangmingshan also means Yangming mountain. Yangmingshan national park can be regarded as Taipei backyard garden, we have lots of trails and ways to go up to the mountain. We can go from Shilin, Beitou, Tienmu, or even Jingshan, which is on Taiwan northeast coast, by MRT transit to buses , scooter, cycling or on foot. It's quite convenient. Moreover, itineraries are customize just depend on moods and how many time do we have. I think it's the most friendly national park I ever met. It provide abundant resource for us in all season. We can have an excursion with our lovely friends or family in daytime. Up to the mountain the temperature drops to be cooler and much comfortable for activity. Even if we come alone, we will never feel alone, gorgeous green and colorful trees and flora surrounded by, birds singing, at the moment we only feel serenity. At night, many people love to see the night view of Taipei there. Alternatively, going to the top of the mountain to see the stars is also a romantic choice. I have live in Taipei for 22 years,and I've visit Yangmingshan national time for countless time. It's definitely worthy of a lifetime's exploration!
Kenting national park located at southern tip of Taiwan. Personally, I went to Kenting, the tropical exciting town, for nine times, and I visit Kenting national park for three time in a row. Many people heard of Kenting as a water activities paradise with beautiful beaches, coral reefs, and son on. Yes, it's true, but it's not all. Kenting national park is so fascinating that drives me back again and again. The breathtaking coral reef cliffs and coastal zone, the vibrant bio-diversity Sheding Nature Park. Last but not least, this is the perfect classroom to learn Taiwan geology!
The beauty of Taiwan National Parks go beyond my words! Just come!
