Even from the first lesson in our primary school we know there is a Mt. Alishan in Taiwan. because of the political reason we had littile knowledge of Taiwan, except this mountain and somewhere else. thus this time when I arrived at Taiwan, there was a strong aspiration for me to see this "first lesson of Taiwan". so I went there. I cannot deny it is a nice place, but only nice not excellent. it just took me half day to finish visiting all the spots on the mountain that opens to travellers.Early on the next morning, I had planned to see the sun-rise of Alishan, but when we arrived the spot, waiting and waiting, because of the bad weather nothing was seen. on the way back to hotel we only saw some white cloud and some lovely monkeys by the road.
