This January, an adult Formosan black #bear ventured into Indigenous villages on #Alishan mountain on 11 separate occasions, breaking into warehouses, vegetable gardens, boxed beehives, and one household kitchen. The bear left behind broken wares, chunks of honeycomb, and battered, raided fridges.

A High Mountain Tea bush near Alishan
Central Taiwan
offers itself to the local bee population
Later,
a different worker will collect its leaves
dry & crush them
& send them on to me

A foggy evening in Alishan, deep in central Taiwan. I decided to have some fun with negative space with this shot, as the clouds rolled around me. #taiwan #taiwantravel #alishan #fog #forest
If it feels like hope, it is... and if it feels like hope, it is... so if it feels like love... it is... love #Alishan #Taiwan

The breath of the morning, I keep forgetting, the smell of the warm summer air, I live in a town where you can't smell a thing, you watch your feet for cracks in the pavement #Alishan #Taiwan

When hiking in #Taiwan, make noisy sounds to deter wild animals. In the event of a bear encounter, back away slowly and use bear spray if needed. Details here: reurl.cc/DqmlYN

One wildlife cam detected a leopard #cat on #Alishan, at 1,752 meters above sea level: youtu.be/IoNjSvWpXCk
Fewer than 1,000 still roam across #Taiwan. They feed on small rodents, hares, and birds, sometimes fish, lizards, and snakes. The Indigenous Tsou word for this petite, wild feline is e'uho.
We won’t need to take a ton of pictures, it won’t be easy to believe, the day we wake inside a secret place that everyone can see #Alishan #Taiwan

Gonna call it good. If you have the opportunity, visit #Taiwan. Enjoy some boba and niu rou mian while you're there. Maybe catch the sunrise at #alishan.
Went up into the mountains and got some fresh wasabi root. Grated it and had it with sushi today. Really yummy! Much mellower and more herb tasting than the jarred stuff.

Our Alishan GABA Oolong comes from a farm that’s located in the mountains with abundant sunshine exposure & is from the Jin Xuan varietal. This oolong has a golden-yellow infusion with buttery yam-like taste and a honey aroma. #alishan #cha #tea #cultivatetastetea cultivatetaste.com/product/tran...
