Pipa Lake in Taidong?

Flowing Lake (活水湖) in Taidong Forest Park. Or is it Green Water Lake (綠水湖) Not sure of the correct name.

Right Answer! @fumarole

I’ll start with something easy, before I start digging in my folder of obscure locations in Yilan

OK, anyone?

geajvop · October 3, 2018, 11:19am

Muhammed Ali Shan?

I could swear I’ve had that exact tagliatelle before, but I can’t remember where. Bellini? 8% Cafe?

geajvop · October 3, 2018, 2:05pm

I’m going to give you the point for Bellini because the correct answer also starts with a B, and - sorry about this - I just realized that the rules of the game are that it has to be in Taiwan.

Feels like cheating getting the point that way. Can you narrow it down to a country?

Dang, you got me, ha ha, nice one.

That photo looks artificial… like that of a miniature train in a studio.

IbisWtf · October 4, 2018, 1:31am

It’s the effect on the field of view with a long lens.

The location isn’t exactly Ali Mountain, but it’s the Ali Mountain train, so I can accept that as the correct answer!

WindyTown · October 4, 2018, 1:50am

wait, i didn’t answer it at all , @geajvop did!

hannes · October 4, 2018, 3:09am

Just FYI.
There is no such thing as Ali Mountain (at least in Taiwan), as far as I know, there is the Alishan Forest Recreation Area, the Alishan Scenic National Area, the Alishan Township, and the Alishan Mountain Range, but there is no single mountain named Ali. Same as Yangminshan, no Yangming Mountain.

WindyTown · October 4, 2018, 3:34am

How do you define a “mountain”?

geajvop · October 4, 2018, 4:10am

Yea I want to adjust my answer specifically to the Muhammed Ali Shan Forest Recreation Area. The one with the legendary forgetful boxers and very very old trees.

IbisWtf · October 4, 2018, 4:18am

I only hear Taiwanese people saying that they’ve been to 阿里山, so I’ve always assumed the mountain where that town is built is Ali Mountain. If that mountain doesn’t actually exist and it’s just a social construct, then I’ll let Taiwanese people handle it the way they see fit.

hannes · October 4, 2018, 4:28am

It’s the name of a mountainous area, not a single mountain. None of the mountains in the Alishan Mountain Range is actually named Alishan Mountain or Mt. Ali.

Take this information anyway you like.

As a sleeping pill?
