Like a local - Yuanyang lake and Cueifeng lake DAY 3

The third and final day started with a freezing morning. After breakfast, we stepped out to get ready to load all the equipment into the car, and Dr. Tang spotted the beautiful ocean of clouds! We were about 1800m above sea level, and due to the cold and the geographical location, the cloud have gathered below us, and it looked like the ocean (only that it was made up of clouds). It was mesmerising, looking at the clouds tumbling below us...

After standing there staring into the beauty of nature for a couple more minutes, we were ready to roll out - back to Yuanyang lake again. 

The lake was really calm this morning, and the reflection of the mountains formed a very beautiful, postcard image. However, in a couple of hours, the thick fog started rolling in (and it was really thick as compared to the first day). Before long, the lake was no longer visible, and the whole forest has this mystic, eerie feel to it. "Sleepy Hollow" kept popping into my mind when I was taking photos of the forest :)

We finished all the field work just after lunch time. Had a quick lunch and started driving back to Taipei. I was really thankful and happy to be able to experience these two beautiful lakes.
