Windy HsinChu-In the mountains

As an island located in the sub-tropical zone in the pacific ocean, almost every county in Taiwan shares some of the scenic coastal line and some of the foresty mountains. And, no where is too far for a day trip.

Going for a relaxing day hike is one of the most popular activities among people here.

Since my mom broke her leg and my brother is out of town, I have the chance to stay in HsinChu for a couple weeks. Here is the backyard of of HsinChu- the Mountain of 18 pointy rocks.

People get together singing and playing traditional instruments in the mountains. The music was just beautiful.
