RE: The bamboo forest hike that keeps going upwards
I really enjoyed this post @livinguktaiwan. Having never been to Taiwan, I was surprised to read about an indigenous tribe living in the mountains there. Is that still the case?
The state of the trails indicates people there don't really enjoy going out into these mountains? Given the population density there, I would've thought perhaps they would love the opportunity to get some exercise like that. And loved your "lucky" (I don't believe in luck, it was meant to be ... 😉) picture of the blooming flower!
Overall, it sounds like quite the adventure and you did not give up or quit. Good for you!
Thanks @roleerob.
There are still some indigenous tribes that live up the mountain in other parts of Taiwan as we're quite a mountainous nation, but they're pretty modernised nowadays , nothing like the amazon tribes you see on TV.
We have an awful lot of hikes in Taiwan as its a very popular past time and normlly the ones we go to aren't this remote , so it was a nice change of scenery.
In terms of adventure , this is probably the most awesome one from last year

Okay @livinguktaiwan ...
... that answers my question and read my mind ... 😉 While I make no claim to any expertise on the subject, it was just a surprise to me to read this. So, very interesting to learn.
I read through your biggest adventure post, with the provided link, and see what you mean about Taiwan being more mountainous than I would have guessed. Great view from Mt. Baimao! I always enjoy reading sightseeing / travel posts, with their opportunity to "see" through eyes of another places we may never see ourselves.
Quick question: Seeing you have your pictures "stamped" with your account name, is that what you and others recommend? On all of my "@roleerob's excellent adventure!" In winter ... posts, I did not do that, but perhaps should have ... Presumably to discourage others, in some way, plagiarizing your work?
