Sharing experience. Step 2: Aowanda comes.(與奧萬大交流)

We were waiting for this event for ages and it came on the 26^th and 27^th of July – Aowanda volunteers visited Dasyueshan!

We met them early in the morning and start our two-day program at once. We needed so many things to do, to show, to tell.

我們期待已久的交流終於來臨了。就在七月26^th and 27^th---奧萬大的暑期青年志工到訪大雪山森林遊樂區！

我們一大清早相遇後就開始了為期兩天的交流活動。我們有太多的事物及風景要告訴及介紹給他們。

Me and Flora
我和芳花

First of all, we lead them to one of the most visited trails in Dasyueshan – Small Devine Tree trail. It is “small” really symbolically, because its height is gigantic and its age is more than the common age of the volunteers who have been there.

The weather was misty, cloudy and sometimes rainy. And a little cool cause of the altitude. But it didn’t spoil the trip – instead bring some magical charm in the surrounding landscape.

  

首先，我們帶領他們到大雪山最有名的小神木步道走一走。小神木名義上是“小”，可是大家別誤以為它真的小小一棵哦，它的高度可是巨大的，年齡比在場的各位志工還老呢！

那天的霧氣相當重，還烏云密布叻！有的時候還下起了毛毛細雨～～因為海拔關係，所以那天異常的冷，可是這並沒有破壞我們的行程—甚至為周圍帶來了夢幻般的仙境。

Having visited Small Devine Tree, we headed to see “big” Sacred Tree – the most famous place in Dasyueshan.

During the first day trip we couldn’t stop discussing our places of works, telling lots of interesting facts, sharing experience and memories. I have learnt not only about Aowanda, its life and work, but also about other interns whom they visited and met.

We were promised to be shown all the trails in Aowanda as we will visit them in August.

Because of the weather and time-limits we had to decide, which trails to walk during the second day and we stop our choice on the one of the longest trails in Dasyueshan – the National trail.

過後，我們前往雪山步道來一窺雪山神木的真面目。

第一天，我們不停地談論我們的工作環境及分享在各林管處工作的經驗和回憶。我不僅更了解他們的工作性質，我還更深一層地了解各個青年志工。奧萬大的夥伴們答應這八月份會帶我們好好參觀他們的森林遊樂區。

因為天氣變化很大，我們取消了挑戰鳶雪捎來的念頭，取而代之的是到大雪山最長的步道---國家步道走一走。

While walking we passed bamboo thicket, small observation deck and deep dark forest, that we agreed to call the most mystical, magical and marvelous in Taiwan.

走在大家公認最美妙、夢幻的步道，我們走過了竹林叢、觀景台及“黑暗”的森林。

  

Sometimes I really want the time to stop. But it never stops and Aowanda guys had to leave us. But this is not the farewell – we will meet each other very soon. Dasyueshan will visit Aowanda.  

Sorry, not to publish many photos, but I have had some problems with my camera at that time. :o(

有時，我恨不得時間馬上停止。可是事與願違，奧萬大這些夥伴們要離開了。可是這不是永別—我們即將見面了。就在這八月～～

很對不起我沒能展示太多照片因為我親愛的相機在那時“當”掉了:o(
