｜台灣｜南投三日遊 A three-day trip to Nantou @ Sorts of Things 各式各樣的小事

在開學前夕我們全家安排了南投三日小旅行，因為我本來就很喜歡去奇怪的景點冒險，尤其是鳥無人煙愈少人知道的地方愈好，如果是自己單獨自助行程怎樣安排都沒問題，全家出遊的話就要考慮一下大家的意見，所以這次的景點都以戶外的為主。很不幸地，第一天出發剛好遇到鋒面，整個山區都灰蒙蒙一片，南投市區更是下起大雨，所以中午我們找了一家牛肉麵店填飽肚子後，很快的就溜回民宿裡休息，安排的行程也都沒有辦法去，只能往後延到第二、三天，雖然捨棄了一些小地方，但還是有拜訪很多景點，像是忘憂森林、寶島時代村、清境農場、博望新村等，算是一次挺完美的旅程。

Before the new semester start,our family plan a small three-day trip to Nantou.I'm an adventurous person,especially some unique tourist attractions and with few tourists.If you are a backpacker,you can organize your travel list as you like,but when moving with your family you have to give it a second though.After all,everyone has a different way they like to vacation.Unfortunately,the first day we encountered a heavy rain on the mountaintop,and we were fogged.We found a Chinese restaurant to feed ourselves up.After the meal,we returned to the hostel quickly and took a rest.Beacuse of the unexpected rain,we have to reschedule the itinerary.I canceled some spots from my list;yet,we still visit some great place like Carefree Forest,Taiwan Times Village,Cingjing Farm and Bowang military village.

忘憂森林相信大家都不陌生，聽我爹說很小的時候帶我去過一次，不過我完全沒有印象了，這次想再回到忘憂森林也是因為看到了網路上很多美麗的照片，想要一探究竟，結果非常白痴忘記帶相機電池只好全程用iPhone拍攝，開往忘憂森林時起了一場大霧，整條路都霧濛濛的，雖然有些害怕不過真的有進入仙境的感覺（感覺仙境就是會起霧(･ิω･ิ)）也因為是平日清早的關係，來往的車子不多遊客稀少，行駛到一塊寫著「忘憂森林乘車處」的牌前，我們停了下來，因為道路狹窄坡度陡峭，當地業者有提供載客服務，一人一趟200元，猶豫了很久我們決定坐車上山步行下山，上山的車程大約10分鐘，坡度大概超過30度所以真的有種在坐雲霄飛車的感覺，還挺刺激的！忘憂森林裡能夠行走的小徑狹窄，尤其因為山上的氣候潮濕易下雨更是佈滿泥濘，昆蟲等也很常見（沼澤裡還有很多蝌蚪），石頭更是布滿青苔，所以如果特地前往取鏡的朋友請注意你的裝備，要有沾滿泥巴的準備。

I believe that Carefree Forest isn't strange to everyone.My dad told me I've been there before when I was little and I just can't recollect.I want to revisit the forest cause I saw some magnificent pictures on the Net.I have no choice to take the photos by iPhone due to my careless.It's was really brainless that I forgot to bring my bettery.On the way to the forest,there was a fog and the road was enveloped in mist.I was just a little nerves at the moment but it made me feel like I was entering to the wonderland.Tourists frequent this district,we arrived early so the surroundings were quiet.We stopped the car in front of the parking signs.The locals provide pick-up service,one-way for$200 per person.We decided to take one ride and walk down the mountain.It's about 10 minutes ride to the forest.I was so excited and felt like riding a roller coaster because of the steep road.The path in the forest is narrow and muddy,there're many insects and todpoles in the pond,the stones are full of moss so make sure to put on the appropriate clothes.

忘憂森林原為杉林溪旁的原始森林，因為921大地震而形成堰塞湖，沼澤內的杉木也因為長期泡水而導致壞死，變成現在筆直聳立或傾倒的樣貌呈現在我們眼前，如果遇上霧氣籠罩更是瀰漫著一股神秘氣息，忘憂森林也因此被稱為迷霧森林，望著這些杉木我覺得這裡沈寂的空氣不是使人忘憂而是讓人無感，無感是指不知道怎麼回應對萬物的情感，總覺得在都市待久了漸漸會失去和大自然溝通的能力，赤裸地面對原始森林但是卻不知道為什麼略有一絲惆悵，我想每個人都要多跟周遭對話，從心愛的家人、朋友、到大自然甚至整個世界，別再侷限於手機或電腦這個小框框，只要用心觀察，我們的周遭生活是很美好、很有希望的。

Carefree Forest used to be a original forest located next to the Sun Lin Sea and the 921 earthquake was the major cause of the barrier lake.Firs inside were rotten cause by longterm flood damage.The forest is shrouded in mystery when the fog comes so that it's also called the Foggy Forest.Looking at the surroundings,I don't know how to respond the call of nature.Living in the city for such a long time,I'm addicted to electronics,maybe it's time for us to look deep in our heart attentively to communicate with our friends,family and the whole world.If we observe the world with the heart,we can capture many beautiful things.

本來就不擅長接觸人群的我，對於遊客如織的景點、購物區更是避之唯恐不及，刪掉很多熱門景點剩下的都是我很期待的地方，南投除了清境農場外還有地方可以探索人文以及歷史風光，那就是這個被稱為異域的城鎮-博望新村，位於清境社區最高點海拔約2040公尺左右，因為海拔較高、氣侯寒冷，取名博望新村是希望年輕人表現充滿希望又敬老的精神，而因村落位置也較偏僻、鮮少遊客進入，部落的原始風貌保存十分完善，成為了清境眷村的代表，村內共有31戶人家，當地亦成立社區發展協會以及滇緬文史館，展示出許多異域孤軍及少數民族的老舊照片，房舍的彩虹色外牆有些斑駁剝落，有著歲月的痕跡但也為村落增添了生氣。黃色的這一幢房子是當地有名的31民宿，我在前面照了張相，幾位耆老坐在階梯上聊天，隔壁是擺夷料理餐廳，在這裡腳步可以很慢、看得很慢，享受無憂無慮的一天，就在我這麼想的同時，我看見我的家人在旁邊發愣的模樣還挺逗趣的。

I don't like to visit some populous spots,there are always crowded.Nantou is where you can not only stand close to the nature but also enhance humanism quality.Bowang military village rises 6,670 feet above sea-level.''Bowang''in Chinese means respect the old and hopeful,due to remote and isolated location very few tourists will go there, so the original ethnic look are well preserved.There are thirty one households in the village,I took a photo in front of a famous hostel here named 31 hostel.The locals founded an association for community development to present some old photos of minorities.

返家前的最後一個景點是位於南投草屯鎮的寶島時代村，我很喜歡復古的東西，我喜愛我爸媽生長的那個年代，時光荏苒，現在只能望著舊物睹物思人，但每一個老東西對我來說都是很新鮮的，因為我從來沒看過，至少在我出生的時候這些東西早就被淘汰了，所以我很喜歡有人跟我說著舊時的往事，聽著故事的同時我也幻想自己正身處那個年代。時代村裡頭融合了眷村、客家庄、原住民部落、復古老街、黃昏市場等場域，不定時的還會有一些實境表演，其中我最喜歡的是舊書攤，裡頭的有一些舊漫畫還有DVD，大概晃了一下後就去附近買了麥芽餅還有古早豆花來吃，整個時代村的燈光偏黃所以我沒有照很多照片，但是不得不說裡頭真的挺好逛的，我還看到一群婆婆很可愛的在玩她們童年時期的跳房子遊戲，雖然時間沒有辦法重來，但是能和自己的孩子、孫子娓娓道來自己年輕時的往事也是很棒的一件事。

The last attraction before going home is Taiwan Times Village,located in Caotun Township.I love vintage things especially the age when my parents grew up.I'm interested in many things so may dad will explain to me how did it work or what did it used for.While listening to the story,I imagine I was born in this golden age.Constructions of a retro military community, Hakka village, and aboriginal village, a vintage Taiwanese villa converted into a cultural restaurant, old shopping streets of Taiwan, markets, local food vendors, and even a replica of a retro train station are all located within Taiwan Times Village.The area I love most is the old books stand,there're many old magazines and DVDs.We strolled around bought some barley-sugar cookies and a bowl of tofu pudding with black tapioca balls.I even saw some old ladys playing the hopscotch.You can never turn the clock back but sharing the story to your offspring is a wonderful thing,isn't it?
