Taroko, east coast

When the mountains are your audience, you know your performance better be epic.

And then there’s Taroko Gorge, where the mountains seem to have a secret pact with the clouds to create the most dramatic entrances. As if the sheer cliffs and verdant slopes weren't enough, they’ve decided to accessorize with a misty veil, adding an air of mystery and grandeur. The statue in the foreground, a silent observer of the natural spectacle, stands as a reminder of human attempts to capture and honor the beauty around us. It’s a place that makes you ponder the audacity of human endeavor against the backdrop of nature’s timeless artistry. You might even start to question your life choices, or at least wonder why you didn’t bring a better camera. But hey, at least your phone has a decent panorama mode, right?
