After I met the Taiwanese guys at the hot air balloon festival, they took me to a commune where people traveling around Taiwan stay the night for free. That’s where I met John, a fellow solo motorbiker in his 70’s. He insisted that I wake up at 5am the next morning to go with him to see Liushidan Mountain, where the farmed daylillies just happened to be blooming. Here are the photos (from August 2012).

Oh how I love him… his name was “John”

Early morning fog

We drove up a mountain to see these flowers!

I was so lucky they were blooming while I was there.

My scooter, very easy to drive.

This crazy Taiwanese man forced me to join him at 5 AM to see the famous orange flowers on the mountain
