Tianmu

Had an afternoon to spend and heard a bit about Tianmu trail (~ 2.8 Km) so went there today. Weather was slightly cold and pleasant

First reached Shipai MRT and from there caught a but for Tianmu. After walking a bit from bus stop saw the Tianmu circle from where the upward journey began.

Most of the initial path is made up of stairs with tiny heights.

After about half an hour of uphill walk, the stairs disappear.

It further diverges into two trails.

Some scenes along the path ..

In the middle, a lot of birds were chirping. Recorded a bit (sorry for VGA quality).

This trail is famous for Macaque monkeys as this warning board shows. Didn't see any of them though (due to noon perhaps).

After finishing the trail in about 90+ minutes I reached a quiet residential area. No people on the roads anywhere.

Saw this interesting stone chair :)

I was looking for a bus stop nearby; walked quite a bit and found this "Floriculture Center" instead.

Some glimpses within it ..

OMG, so many petals ..

Above flower had an awesome blue tinge along the petal borders.

White fern?

I wonder what causes these trees to grow steep .

 People enjoying holiday.

The End.
