Journaling Through My Lens (May week 1)

From the Sun Link Sea to Heaven and Earth Eyes.

The Sun-Link-Sea is a 16.8 km (10.4 mi) winding narrow road. The unique part of this route is that they use the 12 Chinese zodiac to name each winding road, so there are at least 12 sharp curves. It was a bumpy jeep ride, say the least. The driver had to make several sharp turns all the way to the top of the mountain. It was challenging for the driver, but also for the jeep riders.

Once we were up there, we began our hiking:

A serious earthquake which happened many years ago did some terrible damage to the forest.

Here is the Heaven and Earth Eyes, each “eye” is about 26 inch wide and 19 inch deep.

As we walked toward the end, beautiful waterfalls appeared right in front of us. We were told that the sound of  the waterfalls was like a huge thunderstorm coming from the sky during the rainy season.

Walking up and down, we were constantly amazed by the dramatic rock formations and the lush greenery below and above the cave.

After thousands of years of headward erosion, cutting, and penetration, waterfalls, rock caves, and streams, huge rock formations gradually are formed, which presents these magnificent scenes of nature.

Thank you for visiting!
