观星园 was another home stay we went during the 'out of Taipei' trip. It was located at the top of the mountain in 清境. It was one of the best experience, based on my previous blog on 情景. We travelled all the way up to the top of the mountain, where it was only 4 degree. Freezing like standing inside a fridge, I had the winter experience that I never have before.
Arrived just in time to watch the sunset, and we made it a point to watch the sunrise the next morning. The home stay was managed by 李大哥and his wife, we called her 李大嫂. They have a very beautiful dog called Toby, which it has 1 blue eye and 1 green eye.
Really very cozy place to stay in despite of the temperature, and the host prepared steamboat for dinner, as they know we will love the hot soup to keep our body warm. Everywhere is dark and we could only see the lights of the houses down the mountain, however we found our enjoyment by playing with firework. First experience again, we can not play with firework back home. Haha.
My first sunrise, and I could see it in another way. My friends told me, everywhere is dark, and slowly the first ray of the sun will show. After that, the sun will rise up slowly. This is Sunrise. On the other hand, I experience like wise. We set our alarm to wake up early to see the sunrise. We had a shock when we woke up the next morning, the whole sky was bright. We all thought we missed it, but when we went downstairs to the open space, an uncle told us, the sun has not rise up yet. As our location was at the top of the morning, we will see the ray of sunshine first, before we see the sun. This is the first time we heard about it, and we continue to wait despite of the cold weather. All of us went into the tent to hide ourselves from the cold wind blowing on our bodies.
When the sun rise, I knew I will not regret waking up so early and bracing the cold wind. It was something that I would never experience, and I do not know if I would have the strength to do that again in the future as I grow older. Haha.
This is the place I would like to recommend to all of you, if you consider going up to 清境. You will have different experience as the others.
