Menghuan Lake "夢幻湖"

In Taiwan's popular northern Yangmingshan National Park, there is a place called Menghuan Lake, which literally means Dreamy Lake. It is a wetland area with a hiking trail surrounding the small lake.

This is a shot of the road beside the trail starting point, the last accessible place by motor vehicles. From here, we parked our motorcycles and started the uphill hike.

A short while later, we arrived at the main attraction, the small pond. I could start to see why this place is called "Dreamy Lake".

Continuing uphill along the trail, I encountered some butterflies.

When we came back down to the wetlands, the fog was still lingering but I noticed something in the foreground. Can you see it?

A Taiwan Blue Magpie decided to please us with its presence!

After snapping a few shots of the bird, it started to drizzle, so we decided to head back down. I took one last shot of the distant landscape when I noticed a sliver of mist in the valley.

Hope you enjoyed this post! I strive hard to provide quality content :)
