Years ago, a good friend of mine told me that Taiwan was her favorite country in SE Asia.
When I asked why, she said the people are very friendly, the infrastructure is very modern and the mountains are spectacular.
Later on, I became good friends with a teacher from Taiwan and when she learned of my love for hiking, she mentioned that her brother also hikes a lot.
So, after some research, I decided to hike the Wuling Sixiu mountains (4 mountains) andI planned a trip around her going back for a visit and her brother's friends and a hiking trip they had planned.
We did the trip together with 4 of his friends and I and it was as spectacular as people say.
I loved the country and the friendliness of the people there.
Most all speak English and they are very respectful.
That was 2 weeks ago now and I finished my writeup on my blog yesterday, complete with lots of pictures.
