weekend walkabouts
Trip Preparation: Tian Mu Mountain



"In that old poet's clogs I ascend through the mists.
Midway see sunrise on the sea,
Hear the great heaven-bird's cry.
I weave my way between trackless cliffs.
Lost in foliage I rest ... when swiftly comes dusk.
Wild beasts' roaring shakes river and cliff;
The forest trembles? Oh! The massed peaks shudder!
Clouds darken with yearning to rain,
Streams fade beneath thickening mist. "

--Dreaming I Roamed on TianMu Mountain, by poet Li Po.



I am planning to visit Tian Mu Mountain this weekend for some fresh air. Here are a few useful and interesting links I found in Google.

Tian Mu Mountain - Official Web Site
Biosphere Reserve Profile from UNESCO. According to researchers, Tian Mu mountain has rich Gingko resources.

A poet has saw tea sage Lu Yu off to Pick Tea at Tien Mu Mountain, and in Yuan dynasty, a group of scholars went to pay homage to Master Jung Feng on Tian-mu Mountain.
