Taiwan is a paradise for nature lovers. One of the reason is that Taiwan is a mountainous island. I had a trip to Alishan area. It is a place with mountains and tea plantations.
On the way to tea plantation, we can see the mountains. It roughly 1500 meters above the sea level.
It roughly 5 hours driving from Taipei to Alishan area.
A guest house beside the road, it was getting dark ,and I decided to stay here for one night. These are photos I shot in the next morning.

Let me show you some photos of tea plantation in the mountains. You can see the tea plantations in the slops.

Tea plants get enough sunlight in the morning and get enough water in the evening and at night, which results in a sweeter and less astringent brew. It produces golden yellow tea with a unique fruity aroma.
Have a look of tea leaves.
Tea leaves just have been picked up.

There are also trails in the tea plantation area. You could enjoy wandering in the tea plantation.
