National Park in Taiwan’s eastern county of Hualien thanked emergency responders who escorted her back to safety on Tuesday afternoon by saying, “Thanks the non-relatives who treated me more like a family member than do my real family members.”

The 66-year-old woman surnamed Wang was visiting Shakadang Trail (砂卡礑步道) in the national park with a tour group from China on Monday afternoon when she lost contact with the group around 4 p.m.

On Tuesday afternoon, she was found by rescuers and escorted down the mountain trail after missing for 21 hours. She said she joined a seven-day Taiwan tour package and arrived on Sep. 20. While the group was having a short walk on Shakadang Trail on Monday afternoon, she kept walking and taking photos as she had heard that the scenery along the trail is beautiful, unconsciously getting farther and farther into the trail and finally losing contact with the group, Wang said.    [FULL  STORY]
