Into the Misty Wilderness—Southern Section 1, Day 1 |走進迷霧深山—南一段 Day 1

🔗 Taitung Chishang(池上) accommodation and shuttle info: jiaminglake.tdbnb.net Into the Misty Wilderness—Southern Section 1, Day 1 Our journey to one of Taiwan’s wildest trails began before we ever set foot on the mountain. A quiet night train ride took us from Taipei to Chishang(池上), a small town nestled among rice fields and mountains. After a simple night at a guesthouse, we made our way deep into the Central Mountain Range. As dawn broke, the Southern Cross-Island Highway welcomed us with misty valleys and landslide-ridden roads—reminders of the power of nature. Light rain greeted us at the trailhead. But we believed: the weather will change. The trail wasted no time. A steep, humid climb into dense forest left us soaked in sweat and rain, carrying everything we’d need for the next 6 days. Slippery wooden steps, thick mist, and silence—it felt like the mountain was testing our resolve. Eventually, we reached Kuhanoshin Mountain Hut, the only shelter along this entire route. A brief break, a tasty lunch, and we were back on the trail—lighter packs, heavier clouds. We headed for Kuhanoshin Mountain, still wrapped in drizzle. When we reached the summit of Kuhanoshin Mountain, it was completely white with fog—but we still believed the weather would get better. And then—it happened. The clouds parted. Mountains emerged from the fog. By sunset, the sky had transformed into a dream: golden light, swirling clouds, a sea of fire below us. This moment—unexpected, unplanned—was everything. Back at the hut, we warmed up with hot meals and gratitude. This was just Day 1. And tomorrow? We climb Guanshan (3,668m)—one of Taiwan’s "Ten Grand Peaks" and the highest peak in southern Taiwan along the Central Mountain Range Grand Trail (CMRGT). 🌲 This is Southern Section 1 of Taiwan’s Central Mountain Range Grand Trail (CMRGT)—a 6-day expedition across 50 km (31 mi), over 4,000m of elevation gain, and six of Taiwan’s 100 Peaks. This video is just the beginning. 走進迷霧深山—南一段 Day 1 我們踏上這條台灣南一段縱走路線，早在雙腳踏上山徑之前就已經開始。夜裡搭著安靜的火車離開台北，前往池上——這座被稻田與山巒包圍的小鎮。在民宿簡單過夜後，天才剛亮，我們便往中央山脈的深處出發。 南橫公路在晨光中迎接我們，山谷飄著薄霧，道路被落石與坍方破壞——自然的力量提醒我們，這裡不是人能輕易馴服的地方。抵達登山口時，下起了毛毛雨。但我們有信念，相信天氣會變好的。 步道沒有給我們熱身的時間。一路陡上，潮濕悶熱的空氣黏在身上，汗水和雨水混成一體。我們背著六天份的糧食和裝備，一步步走進濃密森林。濕滑的木階、厚重的霧、安靜得幾乎聽不見聲音——山像是在測試我們的意志。 終於，我們抵達庫哈諾辛山屋，這條路線上唯一的山屋。短暫休息、吃點食物後，我們背起輕裝，繼續往庫哈諾辛山前進。雲層更厚了，而且雨還沒停。 抵達庫哈諾辛山時，雖然是一片白牆，但我們仍相信天氣會愈來愈好。 然後—奇蹟發生了。 雲霧開始散開，一座座山峰從雲霧裡浮現，這場景就像是山對我們的回應。 傍晚時分，整片天空變成一場夢，金色陽光灑落，雲海翻湧，山谷成了燃燒的海洋。這一刻，毫無預警、毫無安排，卻美得無法形容。 回到山屋，我們吃著熱騰騰的晚餐，心裡滿是感謝。這，只是第一天。明天，我們即將攀上關山（3,668 公尺）——中央山脈南部的最高峰，台灣十峻之一。 🌲這是中央山脈大縱走南一段，一條長達 50 公里、總爬升超過 4,000 公尺的六天縱走路線，橫跨六座台灣百岳。這支影片，只是旅程的起點。 🔔 Subscribe for new episodes! 🔔 記得訂閱頻道，收看後續影片！ 🎒 IG / FB: @twinslilivivi 📍「台灣這麼美，不能只有我看見」這是我們記錄這條山徑的理由，所以決定用英文介紹，將台灣的美帶給大家。
