LISHAN, Taiwan – Lishan, the most remote and mystical part of Taiwan I have visited, had a special place in the heart of Taiwan’s former president, Mr Chiang Kai-shek – as it does mine.
In the 1960s and 1970s, he visited Lishan frequently during his inspection tours of the Central Cross-Island Highway – the first road in Taiwan to cut through its central mountain range and connect the east and west of the island.
