Ju-San's TenTea is one of the most beautiful scenery wonders among 20 other world's leading places. It is situated in Ju-San (The Bamboo Mountain) in the Nan-Tou County. It is not known to many people even to Taiwanese until recently. The mountain range made it very difficult to reach and building roads there is difficult. Even today, when a paved mountain trail is available; the road is often close to public (The road is allowed for the locals to make a living on their tea-farms.) by the authority because of its treacherous nature. Major accidents along the paved trail had been documented many times before. But our driver, totally ignoring the no-entry-sign on the road, made a 'brave' (but dangerous) drive all the way to the top and drove us all the way back without a single seat-belt on in the van (I sat on the back-seat among 7 other passengers. There was no seat-belt in the back seat. But the driver seat had a seat-belt equipment. Our driver chose not to wear the seat-belt on this ride.). In this ride, I was holding my breath with cold sweat in my hands. Eventually, we arrived at TenTea and made some hiking and picture-taking. No accidents happened; and I think we were just lucky.
