Green Mountain Forest Park — Rules
A flashlight is helpful on the mountain road after dark. If you need information, come to the office near the gate.
Dear Amy,
I received your letter on Friday morning. Thank you!
I am on a small island in the south now. The island is not big. We can walk around it in two hours. There is no MRT here, and there are no tall buildings, only sand, rocks and the sea. I do not mind the hot sun at all.
In the morning I swim, and in the afternoon I sleep under a tree.
Yesterday we saw several sea turtles near the coast. An American boy showed me his photos, and we laughed a lot.
Do not worry about me. I will be home next week.
Ben
Taiwan is not a big island, but it has many kinds of land. In the west there is a wide plain. Most people live and work there, and farmers grow rice on it.
In the middle a long mountain range runs from north to south. Some mountains are almost four thousand meters high. Forests cover them, especially in the south, and the air is cool even in summer.
In the east the mountains meet the ocean. The coast is famous for its tall gray rocks, because the sea has cut into them for thousands of years.
Here are four places near Blue Lake. The times are from the train station.
| Place | Time | Ticket |
|---|---|---|
| Sun Waterfall | 20 min | Free |
| Green Forest | 35 min | NT$50 |
| Rock Island | 50 min | NT$120 |
| Golden Coast | 15 min | NT$30 |
Every ticket is half price on Friday. The bus to Rock Island stops running at four.
