- Join me as I hike the 2,220m Mt. Jiali in Miaoli and learn a little about the history of the region that once supplied more than 50 percent of the world’s camphor, enabling production of celluloid for photography and movie making, early plastics and munitions.

謝謝你，苗栗是我的故鄉。l 您的歷史介紹，非常了不起，感謝！小時候父親說過這故事！沒想到您能這麼專業的制作出耒!
我很喜歡看您的節目！雖然我現居北美，但每次欣賞您的精心作品，好像自跟隨著一同去登山一樣！
Interesting history section about Jialishan there, thanks.
What a beautiful way of seeing the world. I love following your channel, and going on these journeys with you. Really appreciate all the effort you put into your videos.
Thank you so much!
@@AsiaHikelopedia You're welcome!
What a hike… so peaceful n quiet…beautiful vlog!
Thanks
這種拍攝方式是我最喜歡的爬山
謝謝
Let us learn about the history of the Jiali region.
truly thank you !
Walking in a very silent forest. 真是 人生 夫復何求 啊！
真是太精彩了 感謝您的分享
new hike companion! Take care there Richard, Singapore misses you!
your hiking series is the best
Richard的攝影取鏡技術越來越棒了
每一幕看起來都很舒服順暢
不過這次在設備準備／使用上好像出包多了點
還好總有替代方案
真是一個 “糟透的一天”
Stunning forest.
好棒, 歷史及戶外影片紀實也搬到台灣了, 好可惜天公不作美又錯過一次大自然美景, C'est la vie
大多台灣的高山 上山前天要清, 11am前就要爬到山頂 極大降低白牆的機率
it's so enjoyable to hike in the forests in Taiwan because it is much cooler than the city. and the best thing is that we can get these not far from home.
I salute you to walk back and forth to make the video and also make me miss the mountains in Taiwan.
Thanks! 😃
Taiwan is certainly a better place for hiking than Singapore. Wonderful tranquility ! Glad to see you enjoying Richard !
It really is! But I still miss stuff about Singapore.
真漂亮的地方
沒錯
Beautiful! Thank you so much!
You are so welcome!
雲霧繚繞其實也很美 很像仙境
Thanks for making the video. Very knowledgeable. You are capable to publish a book for Taiwan trail with history info. You are the #1 person for that.
So nice of you
Hello, thank you for this beautiful report and for allowing us to accompany you on this beautiful walk through these places, I really enjoy your walks, greetings and until the next video😊👍
Many thanks
自己拍爬山的影片很累，要架好攝影機來來回回拍爬上爬下的樣子～～辛苦了～～
謝謝你拍台灣山的美～～
不會啦。我喜歡！
Oh wow, the peak is cloud level. Amazing. The trees are so straight up and high. We don’t see anything like this in S’pore. Envy you, Richard. Have a good week ahead. 🤗
Thanks
Beautiful scenery. Wandering dog roaming for food. Camphor vic vapour drop. Grown in wild forest useful tree
謝謝Richard介紹加里山，以前沒有聽過這個步道，但從影片看起來還不錯，希望下次可以去。
你應該要去！
Maybe you could do an episode on the camphor war in Taiwan. Technically not really a full scale war, but it was started by the British trading companies who were angry at Qing from setting up an monopoly of the camphor business, and got British warships to shell and occupy Fort Zeelandia in Tainan. Good times. Too bad they stopped as soon as Qing gave the entire camphor business to the British companies.
Thanks for the idea. I'll read up on it!
@@AsiaHikelopedia That William Pickering fellow who started it all is quite a character. He is also pretty connected to Singapore. Kinda connected to both of Asian places that you lived in.
Good hike Richard , a nice stroll in the mountains for you , i wouldn't get to the top being an old bugger but i'd give it a go . Pity all clouded over but a nice and peaceful forest climb :-)
I nice stroll? I was aching all over for 3 days afterwards. Haha! Although it was my first real hike/climb for quite a while!
@@AsiaHikelopedia It definitely was a tougher terraine, looking at all those taller massive tree trunks on that mountain range, not Hills!!!
Beautiful n refreshing sound of water cascading down the slopes! Finally civilisation at the top!!!! Wow, what a stunning view of the thick clouds just below n the beautiful sunshine n blue sky above, what a sight!!!!
I can relate with you, my calves muscles n achilles were very sored for the next few days after the climb up the Rokko mountains in Kobe. Hope you will do more muscles strengthening before another mountain climb, especially the achilles tendons.
Regarding the Juniper trees, chinese used alot of sandalwood, camphor, menthol crystals, eucalyptus oil and other essential oils for their medicated oils n aroma oil that are basically used for nausae/dizziness, headaches, mosquito bites, n seasickness. I have been using Axe(Chinese) oil faithfully for years, helps when l caught a cold or headaches. Traditional chinese Herbal concoctions are organic!
Thank you Richard for that hike n scenery. 🙏 You looked very tired after that climb! Hope you rested enough before your next mountain hike!
去台灣高山時
最喜歡看到白牆
Great introduction about the Taiwan history. For people like me to live here for more than 40 years didn't know anything about this history. I should study more about my hometown (Hsinchu)
Thanks for your filming.
Glad you enjoyed it
Beautiful trees! ❤️
They are!
@@AsiaHikelopedia what is the best time to hike in Taiwan?
Daring and adventurous
加里山‼️
我記得這是中級山🤔
聽說在台灣，困難的其實是中級山🤔
這個加里山的健行過程很有趣，而且都是在森林裏，所以不少山友會選擇來這裡一日行😄
我其實蠻推薦這種一日行的登山健行，如果是一個人單攻，如果可以，帶一隻狗狗隨行吧（除了有伴，也可以避邪）😅
Great hike 👍! 🍻
It was!
Nice and informative☺. Are the trails well-marked, and the weather cool (unlike Spore😫)?
Yes and yes!
If you got drone out would have tops as island in sea of clouds. You probably have some clip already.
Typically, cloud will arise and cover mountain peak around noon to 1pm. That is why many climbers show up 5-6am from entrance of trial. I hope you are not alone to climb. Strange thing happen after white cloud cover the mountain.
Sounds like curry mountain.
Love your videos! Do you need to apply for a permit for this trail?
No permit needed.
Good to see you back in the mountains here on the island!
Hi,小黑！ =P
Richard never disappoints , not in Singapore , not in Taiwan
你有爬台灣百岳嗎？
我有爬過七座而已
Nice trail
Nice hike! Reminds me of my trip to Alishan (阿里山) years ago. Just curious, do you physically train (like go to the gym or do long distance jogging) to build stamina for your hikes? It must not be easy to hike through these mountains.
Not really. I ride my bike almost every day, walk a lot and do some workouts and yoga.
Camphor useful history
Hi Richard, those 小黑 are Formosan Mountain Dog (台灣犬), you got no chance to beat them . en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taiwan_Dog
Can you video the Typhoon on its way to Taiwan?
Nothing to see so far here in Hsinchu. East Taiwan will bear the brunt.
2:10, there are railway tracks? I shall inform my railfan researcher friends to watch this video...I don't recall forestry railway ever in this area. (incline mining railway yes but not forestry) great discovery !
Yes, I was curious what they were used for. They didn't look particularly sturdy.
Those were forestry rails built by the Japanese to harvest red cypress.
impressed by yr command of mandarin👌
Blackie has a collar, so he's got owners 🤣😂 He reminds me of Dogmeat (Dog companion in Fallout games)....
A bite of curry puff on top of the summit would be nice.
Definitely. I had to make do with a 7-11 rice triangle.
Will the white cloud transform and to see other view
No, unfortunately. If had been earlier I would have had a nice view
Who are the perpetrator as said in history?
Is it different timing and day got different view?
The people who attacked the camphor stills.
You know a lot of history that we didn't learn in Taiwanese school.
Vicks
How did you get there?Are there any public transportation ?
No. You need a scooter or car.
What happened to your little companion?
He was too fast. I didn't see him again.
看著影片就想像你在山路必須來來回回的走位移動相機。完成這部影片你一定很累。
and this week no food?
No, sorry. I had originally planned to get some Hakka snacks from Nanzhuang on the way home, but I ran out of time. But I will be passing through that way in a future video so I will revisit.
Oh... so nice... you won't get this in Sg
Keep going strong mate😁😁
