In the middle of Taiwan, Wuling is located in the high-altitude region of Syue Mountain. Surrounded by the mountains and valleys, Wuling has four distinct seasons, with red maple trees that are particularly captivating in autumn and winter. The elegant landscape of Wuling can be compared to poet Tao Yuanming’s Peach Blossom Spring. Shiy and his friends often came here to enjoy the beauty. Four 240 cm long paintings of the scenery of Wu-ling were produced, along with an estimated two mid-sized (137 cm) works.
