At the border between heaven and earth, all you can hear is the wind. Looking down from a height of almost 4,000m, the blue sky, the white clouds, and the black rock are imbued with the beauty of heaven and of earth. Standing so close to heaven, a conversation with the earth seems in order. Be inspired by these mountains, and be dazzled by their fearsome crags, in which majesty combines with brute power. Whether you want to experience nature, find inspiration, or simply delight in life itselfwhatever your reasons, you are sure to find your answer in the high mountains of Taiwan.
