Sharing experience. Step 1: Visiting Shuangliou(雙流我來也)

Having had 3 days off, we planned a trip to the South beforehand. And even not so optimistically weather forecast couldn’t make us give up the idea of it.
We knew that there is an office with some volunteers on our way to Kenting. So we decided to spend several days in their park.
After a very long trip (by train, HSR, train again and bus) we finally managed to reach Shuangliou Forest National Recreation Area.

難得有三天的假,我們決定到南部去走一走。雖然天氣時好時壞,但這並沒有讓我們卻步哦。
我們知道雙流林管處很靠近墾丁。所以我們決定先逗留在那裡。
經過一段奔波的旅程(火車、高鐵、區間車、捷運)我們終於抵達雙流森林遊樂區。

First we spent some time talking to volunteers, sharing experience, remembering some pleasant moments and chatting. Right after this we started our first walk on the park’s trail.
Oh, forgot to say – it was raining. And while we were walking it became slighter and stronger now and then. Until it changes to the heavy shower and we got wet through.
But, nevertheless, we really enjoyed our first walk.
The sceneries of Dasyueshan and Shuangliou are very different. Where we have mountains, huge, mysterious forests and endless precipes, Shuangliou has lovely valleys, rough rivers and marvelous waterfalls.

我們互相交換經驗,並度過了美好的時光。我們開始我們第一天的步道之旅。
噢,忘了告訴你!當我們沉浸在步道時,雨下個不停,把我們淋得像落湯雞一樣~~
雙流的風景與大雪山截然不同。我們擁有高山及神秘的森林,但雙流有可愛的山谷,溪流及奇妙的瀑布。

陽光草坪與台灣百合---完美結合


During the first walk, on the way to the most famous tourist spot of Shuangliou – to the Shuangliou Waterfall – we passed long and nice forest trail, crossed long mountainside bridge and went along the river.

我們看到了雙流美麗的瀑布--我們也經過了很不錯的森林步道,越過長山腰橋及溪流呢!

 

As the rain became harder. We have a choice – go further or return back. But our persistence won and we continued the way to the waterfall. And I didn’t regret of that choice even a moment – the view on the waterfall is breathtaking – huge masses of water falling down and down.
雨越下越大。我們只有兩個選擇--折返或繼續。我們的堅持感動了上天而我們繼續走向瀑布的方向。瀑布的水往下直流,就像李白詩裡頭所說的:飛流直下三千尺,疑似銀河落九天。好不壯觀啊!

The landscape of Shuangliou is pretty charming. 
美麗的雙流

All the way we could hear a sound of the river that flows through the park.
In the evening volunteers entertained us to dinner and tell more about their daily life in the park.
It was very interesting to share and compare our impressions about first month in Taiwan.
You can also find mountains in Shuangliou and we even climbed one of them the next day – mountain Maozi.

潺潺流水聲環繞在耳際。
晚餐時,雙流的志工們告訴我們他們的日常生活,還蠻有趣的。
隔天,我們爬上了貓子山。


It was sunny weather. And we, accompanied by the Shuangliou volnteers – started our almost two-hour way up. 

晴朗的一天。我們開始了我們將近兩小時的登山旅程。

The trail was a little bit slippy and muddy after yesterday’s shower but not less beautiful and nice.
And really not so long.
經過昨天大雨的洗禮,步道佈滿泥濘及有點滑,可是卻不失它的美貌。

雨後綠了更綠
Going up, we saw a lot of insects and lizards that went out of their shelter. One of these lizards (that likes to climb the trees) looked at me very suspicious.

一路上,我們看到了很多出來覓食的昆蟲及壁虎。這只壁虎疑惑地凝視著我。

And some of the insects consider us to be a good meal to them. I mean leeches that wanted to drink our blood. I was attacked four times and four times successfully put them away of my legs not let them drink my blood.
But Anita having decided that she needed to do something good every day, fed the leech for more than an hour. Until it became very-very big so it couldn’t even move. That is where the greed leads…
The view from the top worth to be seen! Breathtaking scenery of a great valley of giant mountains and brightening line of the Pacific ocean near the horizon. 

水蛭因為我們的出現而有了一個豐富的午餐。我被攻擊了四次,可是我每次都成功的把他們拒於千里之外。
可是Anita 決定做點好事,那就是把她的血餵給這些水蛭。水蛭們很貪心地吸了又吸,直到動彈不得。
山頂的風景實在沒得無法形容。


Great Ocean almost united heavy clouds
雲霧繚繞
Time moved fast and soon we had to say Good Bye to our friends and continue our journey. 
時間走得好快。朋友們,又是時候說再見了~~

Bye-bye, Shuangliou! 
I will miss you!
再見,雙流!
我會想念你的!
