Taiwan - Flora and Fauna

Taiwan takes its flora and fauna seriously.

Random animals along the way:









Farms:





Ornamental pumpkin.



A custard apple-pineapple hybrid. Tastes weirdish. Like very hard custard apple.

Flowers. There are flowers grown everywhere in Taiwan:























One night in a resort farm (Nanyuan Resort Farm in Liouying Town, Tainan County) built in a huge garden. The wooden huts face the lake, and they lend out bicycles for visitors to explore the park. Also keeps a few specimens of animals.



















Squeeze this fruit lightly and it uncoils and disperses its seeds.







Alishan national park:













Cherry blossoms were grown in the area during the Japanese occupation.







The Japanese also fell most of the red cypresses, some of which were more than a thousand years old.



This tall one is the oldest tree in the forest, being more than 2000 years old.





Heart-shaped.





It got really foggy on the way down Alishan.
