Mountain climbing has become quite popular in Taiwan in recent years, yet accidents continue to occur frequently. As a mountain-loving comic artist, Zhuang Heyuan used his knowledge of the wilderness to create the comic "Super Mountains," aiming to impart basic mountaineering knowledge to readers in an educational yet non-preachy tone. “Climbing is a very popular recreational activity, but there’s still much that needs to be taught—such as the dangers of solo climbing, types of plants, and more. I also hope this comic helps people see the beauty of Taiwan’s high mountains. How proud it is that such a small island like Taiwan boasts so many stunning ‘Hundred Peaks.’”
Wei Te-Sheng tripped while hiking the Holy Ridge Line, flashing back on his life
Director Wei Te-Sheng, who is busy preparing for the development of the “Festival City” theme park, recently took time out to spend six days hiking the legendary Holy Ridge Line of the Snow Mountain Range with friends. They climbed perilous cliffs, and though he said the hike was exhausting and physically demanding, the sense of accomplishment afterward was immense. “We had no signal in the mountains these past few days, temporarily escaping reality and stress. For me, hiking was actually a way to relax and rest,” he shared. He didn’t see this trip as a challenge but rather enjoyed fulfilling a promise among friends, admitting that after the non-stop production of his film “The Taiwan Trilogy,” it will be hard to find time for such an unrestrained adventure again anytime soon.
