Travel to Nantou, 到南投旅行

五月去了南投, 幾乎所有的行程都是親近大自然為主. 所以穿著儘量以輕便和方便行動為主了.
每次出去旅遊, 幾乎都是一雙鞋穿到底, 除非另有遇到特別的場合才會多帶鞋.
所以我覺得一雙百搭的鞋子對我來說真的是很重要.
百搭更甚於好看. (當然要搭得好看.)

 

I had 4 days travel to Nantou in Taiwan this month. We almost visited 'nature' this time. So, I dress myself in a casual style. I always only take a pair of shoes during my trip (of course, the one I put on) unless there has special occasion.
That's why I think a pair 'good-to-be-with' shoes is really a matter to me.

南投幾乎都是山區,天氣時好時壞,所以裡面穿短袖,外邊再搭上一件有厚度的外套或襯衫.

Nantou is a mountain county (YES, Nantou is only one county in Taiwan NOT by sea!) The weather is so fickle, so I had short top and woolen coat or long sleeve shirt.

看這照片,一定就知道是有名的妖怪村, 地方不大但是每個小地方把日式那種感覺做出來, 真的是拍照片的好地方. 晚上就住在位於溪頭自然園區的溪頭救國團青年活動中心, 非常的經濟實惠, 晚上還可以在溪頭森林公園的大學坑賞螢, 早上能在一片芬多精中清醒, 然後花一段時間在園區裡面晃晃.

The Monster Village is one of famous Taiwan spots. It's just s small area, but you can sense the Japan everywhere. Of course, it's a nice place to take a lots picture. In Day1 night, we stayed in Xitou Youth Activity Center which is in Xitou Forest Recreation Area, and it has good deal (of course, you can't compare it with hotel). We also spent night watching firefly, and it's my first experience! I was so exciting! And next day you can wake up in forest, enjoying fresh air, and also spend time in recreation area.

第二天早上花了些時間在溪頭自然園區, 去了大學池,走了天空走廊, 看了神木. 然後轉往忘憂森林, 但是還是沒有天時地利的配合, 怎麼看都和網路上看到那些夢幻朦朧的照片不一樣, 反而是山下那一片茶園還比較有一番意境.

In the next day, we spent morning in Xitou Forest Recreational Area, visited famous University Pond, walked wonderful sky walkway (feeling tall like trees!), also OLD the Giant Tree.
Then we went to a special forest, but we didn't see the forest in beautiful fog we checked from other pictures. Instead, the small tea garden next to 'dreamy forest' is better.
 

 

 

第二天的晚上住在清境的大白熊民宿, 選了一間有很棒的落地窗景觀, 感覺很像在看一幅會動的山水畫. 第三天早上一直坐在床前感覺一切都很美好.

 

In the day2 night, we chose a guest house with a very nice view. It was feeling like a 'dynamic nature painting' in front of you. We just sat on the bad enjoying the view in the 3rd day morning, it's amazing.

 



青青草原,不敢相信這是我第一次來, 因為這裡實在太有名啦!天氣陰天又時常帶霧, 但也沒什麼不好. 享受當下,不就是旅行的意義!
the grasslands is also famous in Taiwan. And I couldn't believe it was my first time to came here. Although the weather was cloudy day, and always has fog, it wan not bad!
Enjoy the moment, that's travel meaning.

最後一晚我們住在日月潭旁的飯店(雖然我覺得比較像旅社!) 不過因為就是日月潭旁邊景色自然是很好. 隔天早上還特別早起, 趁著船還沒行駛拍下日月潭非常寧靜的一刻.

In the last day, we stayed in the hotel near Sun Moon Lake (but not like star-level hotels), and I think the view from balcony is not bad. I woke up next early morning ( more earlier than my working day!), taking some pictures before those boats sailing. The lake make me feel so peaceful.

最後一天的行程我們都待在日月潭, 我特別還指定要騎水社遊客中心到向山遊客中心的自行車步道, 誰叫這段步道曾被CNN譽為最美的自行車道之一! 這段自行車道騎起來不長(但走起來我相信有段距離).
當然不免還搭了遊湖小艇和纜車. 最後還開車環湖, 晃晃了龍鳳宮, 玄光寺, 和文武廟.

In the day4, we spent our time in Sun Moon Lake, and I said we must to have bicycle tour between Shueishe Visitors Center (I rented bicycle here) to famous Xiangshan Visitor Center. The path is not long for bicycling but may for walking.
Of course we also had taking boat and ropeway. And than just drive car along the lake road, visiting Syuanguang Temple, Wunwu Temple.
