The 36-year-old female biker hiker known as “G” or Wu Jiyun was recently found after falling off a mountain. When the rescue team arrived at the accident site on the 21st, she had already shown no signs of life. The Nantou County Fire Bureau applied for an air force helicopter to retrieve her body on the 22nd, but due to weather and environmental factors, three attempts were unsuccessful. It wasn’t until the morning of today that the retrieval was finally completed, after which the body was transported to the funeral home. In response, folk expert Lin Zhengyi pointed out that it might be because Wu always changed into a bikini after reaching the summit each time, an act that may have offended the mountain spirits, making her “return home” journey repeatedly obstructed.
Wu Jiyun had made a bet with a friend and lost. Ever since, she would change into a bikini and take commemorative photos every time she reached a mountain summit. Within four years, she successfully conquered over a hundred peaks and changed into at least 97 bikinis, earning her some fame in the hiking community and the nickname “Bikini Hiker.”
On the 19th, Wu Jiyun was solo climbing the southern section of the Central Mountain Range when she accidentally slipped and fell into a valley. The rescue team arrived within 28 hours of being notified, but by then she had already shown no signs of life. Although there were no obvious external injuries, she had sustained injuries that left her lower body immobile, preventing her from setting up a tent to shelter from wind and rain. The exact cause of death is still under investigation.
Due to thick fog in the mountainous area, combined with the treacherous terrain and dense underbrush at the accident site, there wasn’t enough space for helicopter operations. The helicopter retrieval mission was called off three times. According to ETtoday News Cloud, folk expert Lin Zhengyi said that this mountain is considered sacred by indigenous peoples, with a spirit-stone at the peak inhabited by spirits. In terms of magnetic fields, it is unsuitable for human entry and even less so for offense. Lin believes that Wu Jiyun’s act of wearing a bikini likely angered the mountain spirits, leading to the three failed retrieval attempts and hindering her journey home.
