Fire crews were today battling a blaze on one of the most sought-after mountains by tourists in Taiwan. <br /><br />Flames broke out at a mountain known as Mawuzuoye, opposite Wuling Farm, on June 24 morning and spread through the dense forests in the National Scenic Area. <br /><br />The fire reached all the way to Heping District in Ping-Ting which is several miles away and continued throughout the night. It was still burning today (June 26). <br /><br />Helicopters have dumped water on the raging mountain fire after fire crews struggled to make the three hour walk to reach the blaze's remote location. <br /><br />Hsuan Hui Jung, who lives near the burning vegetation, recorded the huge fire that can be seen from outside her window on June 25. <br /><br />She said: "It is such a pity, just terrible. After all, our mountains are so beautiful and they have been burned by this disaster.'' <br /><br />Dozens of firefighters and a number of helicopters are still trying to contain the fire from spreading.
