Teardrop from an angel
This was a 3-day hike and it was worth everything to accomplish it. The beauty of trails and mother nature....all were beyond words. We took bus to get down to Taitung and back to Taipei by train. My advise? Train was definitely better....We hiked to the cabin on the first day. On the second dya, we woke up at 2 am and started our hike from the cabin to the top, the Jiaming Lake and got back to the cabin within the same day. For the second day, it was a trip of total 18 km ups and downs, including multiple crazy uphills. However, the sense of accomplishing this challenge and witness the beauty worth every bit of the sweating!!

classic trail to a beautiful lake
3 days 2 nights for this trail is more comfortable, especially stay 1st night in Xiangyang cabin for adjusting height is better. Like most of campsites and huts in mountains in Taiwan, we need to apply ahead and depends on luck to get space. However, it's a classic trail with stunning view. The view from standing on top to see Jiaming Lake is incredible, reflection of the clouds and blue sky with the winds make the surface of the lake change color is just simply "WOW"!

Torturing yet amazing experience
We spent 4 days hiking to the Jiaming Lake with the help of a local tour company. The guide brought us up and arranged accommodation for us at the lodges for three nights. The trail was not that easy and some paths were a bit rough. We finally overcame it and enjoyed the sights and experience. It was like hiking in the sky with clouds underneath you. The lake was not as much as we expected but still worth the experience.
