A shoutout to my lil brother for today is his 21st birthday! Doubt he will read this entry, cuz he seldom reads the blog. He finds it weird to be reading all about his sis's life, lol! Think he shld be having his "blanket party" now, haha! Gave him his pressie during Xmas and hopefully he will put it to good use :) Time really flies, even the lil bro is all grown up now.... which means that I'm getting old! Have to start facing reality soon, haha! Another TW entry below and meanwhile, TGIF!

After we left 小油坑, we arrived at the next destination - 冷水坑, which contains Taiwan's sole bed of precipitated sulphur. Popularly known as "Milk Lake" due to its cloudy colour.
Leecher looking comical with his 2 umbrellas opened.
We explore the nearby surroundings first - it sure felt surreal standing there, with the cold wind blowing in your face. I felt so refreshed even though I was getting pretty tired from the walking.
So, we headed towards the opposite direction & followed the signs towards Menghuan Pond. The pond is a protected area located at the western side of Mt Qixing. In winter, mist and fog enshroud the area to form a dreamy winter wonderland. Sounds magical already :)
Venturing towards the destination!
The walking trails are quite easy to walk and with clear direction signs to guide you along. So, there is really little chances of you getting lost, even if you're not familiar with the surroundings.
Taking a break and Leecher had to refuel his energy with food.
Nature spotting along the way!
Check out this gigantic spider web - I was surprised @ dent dent's ability to capture the intricate details so clearly.
Another one outside the guys' toilet.
Kids spotted cleaning up the area, our equivalent of community work services.
We soon arrived @ Menghuan Pond ... but to my great disappointment, it looked like this

Erm, which part looks 夢幻 to you? Apart from the mist and fog, it looked like a gigantic algae-filled pond. It was supposed to look like this
Nothing like what is seen in the picture. Wasted all our effort to walking here. So, we continued the trail towards the next destination ...
Creepy crawlers on the way down *yikes*
The Lim brothers having a fun time playing in the mist, haha! Didn't know guys can be easily entertained by simple things :)
