On the way home we spotted two Formosan Rock Monkeys [Macaca cyclopis] sitting next to the road. I believe at this point we were driving through a portion of Yushan National Park [玉山國家公園].
The section of the road was a little too dangerous to park the car and get out, but I was able to get decent shots from the car window.
Down the road we stumbled across this gem:
The Fuci Tree [夫妻樹(Couple Tree)] are two old cypress trees that are the remains of a forest fire in 1963, so-named because they resemble a couple standing proudly by the road [Yushan National Park].
It was a great time, hopefully in the near future I’ll be able to make another trip up and explore the area more extensively.
Near the trees is also a great spot for taking a panorama:

All information, unless otherwise noted is from various tourist brochures, information plaques, and the Alishan Forest Recreation Area website.

I went on a tour there years ago and I think those two trees are the male and female trees… Of course, there is some mythology about them, but when I went there my Chinese sucked….
