Last December, I spent my long vacation in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. I had a chance to hike Shoushan mountain or it was called monkey mountain. I went there by riding motorbike. It’s not far from where I live. The hiking trials are comfortable and surrounded by beautiful scenery. I saw many elderly on the way enjoying hiking. This time, I can complete only level 1, however, I will complete level 2 on my next trip. On the mountain top, it is a good weather, a bit cold and wind, and breathtaking view point. I met a lot of Taiwanese monkey, they will not pay attention on you or your belonging if you don’t bring any food or disturb them. #2023travelwish #mytripvlog

Every February, the park's Taiwan cherry trees begin to bloom, with pink flowers dazzling under the sunlight, adding a touch of romance to the city. As you leisurely walk up the mountain trail, cherry blossom trees bloom on both sides, with petals gently falling and adorning the stone steps. Standing at the highest point, you can overlook the shimmering Kaohsiung Harbor, where the pink cherry blossoms and the blue sea create a captivating spring scene. Sitting quietly under the trees, watching the petals dance in the breeze, you can feel the rare poetic charm of spring in this southern city.
