Such a beautiful landscape featuring the elegant Yushan rhododendron (Rhododendeon pseudo-chrysanthum). Yushan rhododendron is one of the three main Rohodendron species on the island – the others being the Formosan and Nasnhu Rhododendrons. It grows at a higher altitude than other Rhododendrons and flowers from mid-May.
