Waterfalls and Cherry Blossoms: A Trip to Miaoli's Mountains

 

Travel Date: 2024/02/04

The day began with promising sunshine, but as we ventured towards the mountains of Miaoli, a shift in the weather greeted us. Suddenly, the sky turned cloudy and gloomy. Despite the change in conditions, we pressed on, determined to explore Nanzhuang.
Ascending the mountain roads, we reached an indigenous village in search of cherry blossoms. However, to our disappointment, the cherry trees were scattered and sparse, depriving us of the picturesque views we had hoped for. Nonetheless, our journey was not without its surprises - we encountered playful monkeys leaping among the trees, a sight that added a touch of excitement to our excursion.

With no concrete plans in mind, we meandered along the mountain roads, stopping briefly at a spot adorned with blooming plum trees. Much to our dismay, we realized that we had arrived past the peak of the blooming period. It was a stroke of misfortune that seemed to follow us throughout the day, leaving us with limited sights to behold. We also made a stop at the Valley of the Gods waterfall, a place we had visited two years prior.
Despite the lackluster outcome, I couldn't help but feel grateful for the opportunity to venture outdoors, a rarity lately due to the unpredictable weather. Both my blog and YouTube channel have been neglected, and I yearn for more adventures, especially as summer approaches.

My thoughts wander to Tainan, with its warm climate and inviting atmosphere. The majority of the year boasts pleasant weather, a stark contrast to the unpredictable conditions of Miaoli. Here, it often feels reminiscent of Polish weather, but the absence of heating systems at home can make chilly days unbearable.
Nevertheless, I remain hopeful for brighter days ahead, eagerly anticipating the chance to explore new destinations and share my experiences with others. After all, every journey, no matter how challenging, offers its own lessons and memories to cherish.
