Next day we got back to Jioufen because I felt that the mission is not completed if we don’t climb the mountain which has one of the most amazing views to the ocean. I was happy not to see too many tourists, but on the other side we had to face to a nasty fact: it was extremely foggy! You can see on the pictures that the within sight was not more than 10 meters. But of course it didn’t discourage us from climbing the mountain I spotted yesterday. So it was basically a serious stair climbing tour as the path is all the way up built out with stones. But climbing 300 m’s (from the level of 300 up to about 600 m’s high) in 90% humidity is not an easy job. At the first resting place I developed a new martial arts –just to warm up – which utilise the bamboo as a serious weapon. We climbed almost the whole way in fog but as we were about to reach the summit we got some sunshine and from the summit we could see some of the mountains and how the clouds passed through the ridges. So somehow our effort against the elements was honoured what made us happy.
