Toad Mountain and fabulous view of Taipei

Last Saturday greeted us with a wonderful and clear weather. After finishing our weekly duties in our apartment (cleaning, laundry,...) we decided to take advantage of this bright and warm (25 degrees Celsius) day and went for a walk in the hills next to where we live. The highest point there is rightly called Toad Mountain (Chan2 Chu2 Shan1 蟾 蜍 山), as thousands of toads are crossing the hill's hiking paths after sunset. The exceptionally clear day offered a magnificent view to the North onto Taipei, here you can see a panorama of the city with Yangmingshan in the background.
