The Geysers From Yangmingshan Mountain

I didn't know Taiwan had Geysers but then it's only recently I've been spending most of my weekends trying to get out of Taipei city and head out towards the various mountains for hiking which surround Taipei.

I love the colour of the bright  yellow sulphur on the ground.

Actually it's the fist time I've seen Geysers before, and the intoxicating smell of sulphur is really strong and slightly stings your eyes, or a least that happened with me. Mind you it was still will worth a visit.

 

Letting of steam.

A lovely combination of fog and sulphur.

In the photo above if you look at the right you can see a pile of rusty old pipes, apparently a Taiwanese company had wanted to extract the sulphur for commercialise use. But the steel structure of pipes they built was corroded by the sulphur so the gave up on the refinement.

The geysers are located quite close to Chingtiangang grasslands, you should be able to find your way just from the smell!
