alishan was my undoubtably my favourite part of taiwan, or to give it it's appropriately titled longer name the alishan national scenic area. however so far i've only posted photos from a specific sunrise viewpoint and a couple of raindrop photos, so i feel somewhat obliged to provide a little more context on what was inside. it rained incessantly for the entire time i walked in amongst the forest, but this weather also came with an atmospheric mist which really added to the overall vibe. it was really well maintained with a large number of these wooden walkways complementing the stone steps and woodland paths. the trees inside were old and giant, many were hundreds of years old including a sacred red cypress tree which is over 3000 years old. you really forget about the outside modern world when you're in amongst such ancient, beautiful nature

i was a little creative with my processing in what was such a green landscape, with this warmer treatment reflecting how i felt more than what i saw. as usual there are a few more shots on my instagram post, along with another photo from the main entrance to the park
