合欢山岭景秀丽

Scenic Views of Hehuanshan Mountain Range

2014年2月-2015年1月，台湾一年。拍摄了许多地方，留下了许多回忆。

I spent a full year in Taiwan, from February 2014 to January 2015. I traveled and shot photos across countless spots, storing countless precious memories.

合欢山是最让我不能忘怀的一个地方。一切的拍摄都是为了等待一束光线的降临。

Hehuanshan Mountain left an indelible impression on me. All my shooting sessions were dedicated to waiting for the perfect ray of light to sweep over the peaks.

由于环山路的缘故，大型客车不允许上山，这就意味着合欢山这个地方，许许多多的游客都没法前往。但却是台湾最美的景色之一。山势壮硕威武，山容秀丽多姿，有“山岳典型”之美誉。

The winding mountain loop road bans large coaches from ascending the peaks, keeping Hehuanshan out of reach for most tourists. Even so, it boasts some of Taiwan’s most breathtaking vistas. The range features imposing, rugged ridges paired with graceful, varied slopes, earning it the moniker “Model Mountain Range”.

记得前前后后登上合欢山有三次吧，小型车辆可以从山脚下直接开到山顶，大约需要三个多小时的时间，其中不乏有很多重型机车的骑士和公路自行车手。唯独没有见过有人徒步登顶，这也是和其他山脉很不同的地方吧！

I’ve hiked up Hehuanshan Mountain on three separate occasions. Private light vehicles can travel straight from the mountain foothills to the summit, a journey of roughly three hours. The route teems with heavy motorcycle riders and road cyclists, yet I have never spotted a single hiker trekking all the way to the top — a trait that sets this range apart from all other mountains in Taiwan.
