Jinguashi Silvergrass Festival in Taiwan during Fall Season.
Two years ago, some of my classmates and friends @ National Taiwan Normal University decided to hike in Yilan (Northern Taiwan) an hour from Taipei by local train. The place is called Caoling (草嶺) Trail is 8.5 km in length. It lies beetween Gongliao, Taipei County and Toucheng, Yilan County. The trail was an important pathway between Taipei and Yilan (宜蘭), and it has existed for more than two centuries.
Every year of late November, they have a celebration called Silver Grass Festival. The silver grass is in full bloom, and the hilly areas are covered with sleek, satiny grass.Attracting lots of tourist to take a hike in a trail.
I wish I could do it once again, but I have no one to go with!
After 6 hours of hiking, whew, it was tiring but fulfilling!
Here some photos to share:

A beautiful hike and lots of scenery. Wow, 400 steps! I would be feasting after the hike.
