2016-06-14 | A frog goes hiking: 桃山 (Tao shan)
It took a long time for us to actually make up our minds whether we should go or not. The weather forecast had been bad for several days and the chance for rain rather high. But because the actual precipitation had been low for days we ended up giving it a try.
And luckily we did try! Despite the absence of sunshine and the occasional drizzle we stayed almost dry. Also, thanks to the high cloud cover we still saw most of the surrounding mountains.
As I always do when the weather forecast is bad, I left my camera at home and took photos with my toy phone instead. The result wasn't half bad and where it was a little bit of retouching did the trick.
Here is 單攻桃山, a single-day trip to Tao shan and back.

The trail has a great view of the surrounding mountains. The tallest peak in the left half of the photo is 南湖大山 (Nan hu da shan), the pointy one in the right half is 中央尖山 (Zhong yang jian shan).
And a little to the West you can see 池有山 (Chi you shan) in the front and 品田山 (Pin tian shan) in the back.
Looking back towards 雪山 (Xue shan). If you look closely you can see a little white blot; that's 三六九山莊 (369 mountain hut).
