Hiking the nearby mountains

Simon and Richard celebrated the American holiday with an early morning hike up a local peak, Zhong Po Mountain. It had a lake near the beginning, that may have paddleboats on it they think.

Along the way it was bamboo forest, and spruce higher up.

At the top was an observatory with views of the mountains beyond.

Whoa! Never a fan of (most) mushrooms, but that thing is an eye-catcher. Fantastic photos. Yes… I’ve been lurking in the shadows all along… watching the adventures as they unfold on my screen. All the best my friends.
