  1. 台灣漂亮的地方很多 如溪頭杉林溪 合歡山 清境農場 阿里山奮起湖 梨山 南橫 墾丁 花東海線山線 六十石山 太麻里金針山 知本溫泉 蘭嶼 綠島 澎湖 中橫太魯閣 ….都值得花點時間去走走看看

  2. so glad to have you here in Taiwan to have such a deep explore the pretty and those touching moment ! Tawan has the highest healing enegy in the whole world,shch as Da-An forest park,Nan-Kan National park。。。。 hope you have a great time in Taiwan and thanks again ! love u~😘🌹

  3. Alishan is definitely one of the best places to visit in Taiwan. Stairs are necessary in these mountains for easy access otherwise it would be too slippery with the amount of rains we have here.

  4. I love your videos. This one in particular motivated me to plan my next visit to Alishan. Than you!

  5. 太棒了 非常專業 對 阿里山 的美詳細攝影介紹 有助台灣旅遊推廣 謝謝.

  6. Although Alishan is famous for its sunrise, there are no more than 20 days in a year where you can see a perfect sunrise

  7. This was also my fave area in all of the places we've visited ng Taiwan. So magical! Will definitely go back and stay there.
    You went to Sun Moon lake right? In Ita Thao when you ride the cable car, you'll be able to go to the Formosan Aboriginal Culture Village and you'll be able to see tons of cherry blossoms too. Our target was to visit all the sites with cherry blossoms in Taiwan and we were not disappointed.

  8. Tank you love Taiwan阿里山之美與本國櫻花及檜木林相互輝映,紡織成景❤

  9. The unique smell in the woods should be "phytoncine" which were released by those trees and wild plants.
    Through breathing, those phytoncine would reach each individual cell in your body including brain cells.
    It works like magic to calm you down and and relax your muscle.
    It also kills bateria and germs inside your body.
    Many people hike in moutain just to inhale as much phytoncine as they can. Suck 'em alll in.

    wonderful video, thank you!!

  10. 這部影片讓我莫名感動,尤其看到非常壯觀的高樹當你走在林間,感覺到非常的幸福。日出真的很難掌控,要看當天 天氣。但是沒關係 希望未來有一天能看到❤

  11. Wow wow wow! Great photography, amazing choice of music! Love your crispy commentary style. Your channel is my favorite so far among all the youtubers visiting and covering Taiwan recently.

  12. Thats a nice park. Soon Neuralink enables every viewer to smell flowers telepathically just by watching video.

  13. 如果你們想要欣賞日出 建議夏天去比較適合 約6~10月 我以前高中畢業旅行就是去阿里山 由於是大約6月份去的 晚上還跟同學們一起去夜遊 夜晚的星空因為沒有光害跟污染 滿天的星星非常漂亮 而且完全不會感覺寒冷 早上看日出也非常的完美 沒有親眼感受過日出的人無法理解那種感動 令我印象深刻

  14. When I was a teenager, my friends and I ventured into another Taiwan forest resembling Alishan. My friend shouted loudly into the forest, 'Asidaka, where are you?' (she was joking). Asidaka is the male protagonist from the Studio Ghibli film 'Princess Mononoke, ,a story about protecting forest. I saw someone mention in a comment that the trees in Alishan resemble those from Ghibli films, reminded me of this memory."

  15. I would like to recommend you to go to Mugu Muyu (慕谷慕魚), closed for seven years, 2023 Taiwan has opened it again, it is a beautiful secret place in Taiwan Hualien~~you need to apply for a mountain pass.
    Taiwan have 260 high mountains over 3000 meters, and more than 5000 waterfalls, with ever-changing landscapes. People from all over the world are welcome to explore!
    It is recommended to search for related videos with (Mugu Muyu)

  16. 5:53 This one seems to be a rhododendron… hmm might be a Taiwan Rhododendron I'm not so sure ;p
    6:24 lol 6:38 oops, hope you are alright @@;
    7:28 hmm… I'm not sure if it is a Steere's liocichla who is calling but I think it is a Taiwan Wren Babbler singing at 7:51
    9:26 I guess it is Phytoncide that you are feeing at this moment<3
    11:47 omg… I can hear white tailed robin singing here… this vid really makes me miss Taiwan and my family…. lol
    18:06 and here comes the rufous faced warbler singing in the background … oh you have a lot at 19:56 lol yeah it sounds like a cricket lol
    20:23 I heard a story from our Forestry teacher, he said when the Japanese came to Taiwan to do the forest resources inventory and saw the 3rd generation tree with 1st and 2nd logs beside, they were shocked and happy. Bc this means the wood is very high quality and has a very high ability of anti-corrosion. And they start to manage the Taiwan forest very seriously.
    21:59 ah~<3

    Really love this episode 😀
