Once I saw Wanda River I understood that I will never forget Aowanda! Huge mass of brilliant green water surrounded by the green mountains like by the walls. So many different green colors. You can try to count them all from my photos.
我一看到萬大河我知道我永遠無法忘記奧萬大！一大片碧綠的水面被層層山巒包圍，形成各式的綠色圖片。您可試著從我的照片集中數數看。

| Aowanda 奧萬大 |
Aowanda meets us with sunny weather and great excitement.
Unfortunately, Aowanda was closed after the Saola typhoon and soon I will tell you about the consequences that this typhoon leaded to Aowanda.
As the recreation area was closed there were no tourists and visitors and we had a chance to see the unique beauty of Aowanda in the silence and quietness, without such a mess that tourists bring.
Our schedule was as very busy. As often we don’t have lots of time to communicate and see all the wonders of Aowanda. But our friends choose the most delightful ones for us.
First of all, we went to the Trio-Waterfall where we found three different points from which you can observe waterfalls. Each of them let us see its beauty from other angle.
奧萬大以陽光般的天氣與熱情歡迎我們。
很不幸的，奧萬大因為蘇拉颱風後就休園了而待會兒我會告訴您颱風對奧萬大造成多大的影響。
因為休園的關係，遊樂區裡沒有遊客的踪影而我們也有機會在寧靜中欣賞奧萬大的美。
我們的行程很緊湊。我們沒有太多時間互相溝通並看到奧萬大所有的景點。可是奧萬大的朋友們為我們安排了最好的行程。
我們先到瀑布區。在觀景平台，我們可以從3個不同角度欣賞瀑布。就讓我們從各角度好好觀察它的漂亮吧！

I like watching waterfall. There is something tremendous and breathtaking in seeing them, feeling the power of nature, its strength and triumph. Such moments I clearly understand that humankind will never exceed the nature, will never be greater.
我喜歡看瀑布，感受大自然的魔幻力量。剎那間，我了解人類永遠無法超越大自然。
For the second part of the day Aowanda guys prepared something really very special for us.
One thing that some people pay to do it…
One thing that you can never experience before…
We cleaned the pond!
第二個活動很特別。
人們被支付才肯幹的差事。。。
您從來沒體驗過的。。。。
我們清理生態池！
You should have seen Flora’s blog about cleaning the pond, that they did before one of the camps. As the pond was rather big and there were lots of alien species that were need to pull out – we came to help Aowanda.
All the time of the work I memorized Ridley Scott’s Alien, although there were no resemblances among them. But our uniform reminded me of the famous Russian Stalker’s culture. We were only lack of the gas mask for the whole similarity.
您應該有看到芳花的部落格有提到清生態池的文章，他們曾在一個營隊清過了。生態池還蠻大的，需要被清除的外來種好多---我們來助奧萬大一臂之力。
這蛙裝讓我想起了有名的俄羅斯人物，就只缺了氣罩。

| Ready for great deeds 準備做偉大的事情了 |
As it always happens, the work was not boring but very fun and exciting. Even muddy water and strange smell couldn’t lower our enthusiasm. Really, where and when else you can stay in the pond at waist.
We cut the plants and combine them in long snakes or sausages (depends on the view) to move them to the bank. Sometimes with such plant-snakes we also move frogs and water-spiders. There were so many of them. Maybe they consider us to be a new transportation system…
Having done a great job (you can see how much plants we put out), we – dirty, sweaty and tired – could have a rest.
這工作很有趣。就算池水發出的濃濃臭味也不減低我們的熱誠。什麽時候你才能呆在池裡，水位已經到您腰間了。
我們拔出外來種並結合成蛇狀或香腸狀(個人而異)再搬到河床上。有時我們也幫一些青蛙及水蜘蛛搬家。
But first – we needed shower. Our uniform also needed it!
The best rest is the changing of the activity! Flora, Chia Yee, Janice, Wan Yu and I decided to have a brief walk along the Aowanda trails and to make photos – crazy photos.
我們做得很棒(您可以看到我們清除了多少外來種)。我們又髒又醜—需要休息了。洗澡！我們的蛙裝也需要！
芳花、嘉怡、郁潔、琬喻和我決定到奧萬大步道走一走及狂拍照。
For the evening one more very special event was planned! Aowanda Nature Center was built four years ago and today was its 4th Birthday! Have you ever presented on the Birthday of the building? I don’t! So, I was very excited and delighted! We sang Birthday songs for it in different languages and even make a video. It was very uncommon experience.
奧萬大自然教育中心剛好在當晚慶祝其四歲生日！您曾對一個建築物獻過祝福嗎?我沒有！所以我格外興奮!我們以不同的語言唱生日歌，整個過程被錄製成影片呢。這是多麼特別的經驗。

Morning starts and countdown begins. We had only 5 hours left with Aowanda and without wasting the time we went to the trail leaded to the Suspension Bridge.
How many beautiful places we saw on our way. Strong-men slope, path on the bank of the river, Maple trail, bird-watching pavilion, pine-tree forest. We saw lots of trees that Monkey-hates-to-climb, we passed cleaning-water building, we saw the trees that were growing from the center of the river and lots of other amazing things!
早晨開始了，倒數也正式開始。我們只剩下5小時，我們趕緊走往奧萬大吊橋。
一路上我們經過了很多美麗的地方。好漢坡、河岸邊的小徑、楓步道、松林區、還有猴不爬樹。

| Any ideas why monkeys hate climb such trees? 為什麼猴子都不爬這棵樹？ |
 |
| Trees in the water 水里的樹 |
Do you remember I told you about the consequences of the typhoon? Here they are. One of the trails on the bank of the river was damaged because of it! Also, not yet reached Aowanda we saw the works of repairing the road that was hardly suffered of the typhoon!
您還記得我跟您提起颱風帶來的後果嗎？因為颱風，有個步道完全被摧毀了。還沒到奧萬大吊橋，我們也看到了維修工作正在進行。
 |
| Hardly anyone could go further 沒人能過得去吧 |
But typhoon passed and we finally step the Suspension bridge! The great, strong but so elegant path over the abyss! I can hardly imagine how these bridges are constructing. So I can only amaze by the result.
颱風過了，我們踏上了奧萬大吊橋！我無法想像這吊橋怎麼建成的，太不可思議了！
 |
| Solemn moment 莊嚴的時刻 |
 |
| Striking view 眼前一亮的景觀 |
The view from the bridge was incredibly beautiful! We could see the huge mountaineering valley spread towards the horizon and a quiet river under us.
We crossed the bridge and I feel myself in Russia! In Russian forest in fact. It was so much alike… these pine trees, small, shiny lawns, green bushes and plants along the paths. It was real nostalgia for my Motherland! In these pine forest I feel at home.
橋上眺望的景觀實在太美了！我們可以看到在天際間伸張的層層山巒及緩緩淌流的溪水。我們越過吊橋後我覺得我就像處身於俄羅斯一樣！松樹、小丛、草原、小徑。
Wandering in it for some time and enjoying nature and last moments together, we in the end had to go back and leave.
On the way back I behaive not like a strong men and refuse to go to the strong-men slope! Climbing up steep stairs… No way!
Right before our departure guys presented us with Aowanda postcards, file-pack and special T-shirt uniform with Aowanda logo.
I will remember Aowanda as a very peaceful, quiet, charming place that you will fall in love with from the first sight. First sight on these solemn mountains and wide green lawn, on its deep valleys and rush rivers, on its green, young forests and lovely alleys.
欣賞了美景後，我們要折返離開了。
回程的路上我拒絕做個好漢爬上好漢坡！爬階梯。。。不行！
我們離開前，奧萬大夥伴送了我們奧萬大明信片、文件夾、印有奧萬大標誌的T-shirt。
我會記得奧萬大為一個寧靜、迷人、讓人一見鍾情的地方。第一眼看到莊嚴的青山、廣闊的草坪、峽谷、 大溪。
Guys, I want to thank you for your work that you made to host us, for your accompanying us and helping, for the trip and new experience that I had! Thank you!
夥伴們，我想謝謝你們這麽賣力地盡地主之誼陪伴我們，讓我們有一個難忘的旅程！謝謝！
