Taiwan has a hard time marketing itself. There are many factors as to why this is the case which I needn’t go into here, but suffice to say that if the tourist board shifted to feature the outdoors more they’d be heading in the right direction.

Yet it isn’t, and that is a real shame.

Anyway, here are some photos from recent rides that in some way I hope show something of this beauty. All these were taken in the last two weeks in the Yangmingshan National Park above Taipei, with an iPhone 12.
