10/22 擎天崗一日遊

自從上禮拜日帶E去登山課發現的漂亮的秘密基地 - 下竹林 -後

After showing E my secret place at XiaJuLin mountain last week,





決定下一次行程要來去
擎天崗

We decided that our next week destination would be Cingtiangang. It's a famous place at Yangmingshan National Park, because of it's grass field and mountain view.



都在這附近怎麼可以不去一次呢!?
不過這個禮拜天氣一直很差,天氣陰陰的又下雨
本來想說周末的擎天崗形成一定是去不成了
還好禮拜六一早就出太陽 :)
一早去教課完後

Since I live on Yangmingshan, there's no reason not to visit, but the weather was bad during the week, we thought our plan to Cingtiangang need to be cancelled. Luckily on Saturday morning, it was a really nice weather. After tutoring my students in the morning, we head for Cingtiangang.


我們騎車到了冷水坑休息站
因為我們兩個對這附近都不熟悉
在這邊研究了一下路線圖,這附近有很多登山步道

First we drove to Lengshuikeng, and start our hike there.



我們目標是擎天崗
選了來回大約3km的冷水坑擎天崗人車分道路線
直接來回冷水坑跟擎天崗
出發囉!

We choose a hiking path about 3~4km directly to Cingtiangang.





再出發口發現另一邊一個路標指向附近不到0.2km的地方
有一個叫做牛奶湖山頂的地方
我這個牛奶狂當然堅持要去看一下
看到很特別的湖,雖然小小的一個
加上霧大視野沒很好
是以前的火山口,湖泊是一種很特殊的乳白藍色
資料說那是冷泉喔! (不知道能不能去泡一下 XD)

Near the starting trail, there's another road that leads to Milk Lake. It's a milky blue colored lake, which is a cold spring. 






看完牛奶湖
我們就開始往目標擎天崗出發囉~
先是經過菁山吊橋
然後很幼稚的拍張照





接著經過一條很長的階梯
陽光剛好把這邊照得像仙境一樣!

We passed a long staircase, the lighting make this place looks like paradise.









快要到的時候看到路邊一個警告牌
上面寫著小心牛 :O
我一直喊我要看牛我要看牛!!!

On the trail, there's a warming sign saying "Beware of Cattle, do not provoke them!" :O
I keep on yelling, I want to see cows!!!




結果看到牛糞....
我: " >"< 吼!我要看牛、不要看牛糞啦!!!"
旁邊的阿伯聽到開玩笑地把芒草插在牛糞上
邊說: "鮮花擦在牛糞上"
一.一
後來我看到路上的牛便便上都有插芒草
才看懂伯伯的用意
提醒路人不要踩到

Instead of finding a cow, we found a cow poo instead....an old man pass by and stick a grass on to the poo, to remind people not to step on it.







終於到了擎天崗草原
牛牛我來了!!!
E在旁邊冷冷地說: "看你自己就夠了,你不就一頭牛 =.= 頑固牛"

Here, we arrived at Cingtiangag Field.


擎天崗圓環步道


草原上沒看到牛、正覺得失望的時候
就在圓環步道附近看到好多牛 (開心)
衝過去!!! 看牛牛 XD

Found my cattle XD, there are many cattle wondering on the grass land.





到達擎天崗草原的時候
剛剛插花的阿伯也在旁邊
說到來擎天崗沒去竹篙山看看很可惜
我們就決定上去看看!!!

The old man beside us, told us that it'd be a pity not to go up to the ZhuGao Mountain. So we went up to that mountain, the view is splendid, would be even better if it's not so foggy.


到達竹篙山山頂
很漂亮的地方可惜霧太大、不然風景會更美
山頂這有一個圓圓的東西不知道是啥
還在猜是不是水塔!?
後來問登山課老師才知道是以前兵塔、以前阿兵哥會住在裡面喔







這個牌子上面寫說是擎天崗解說中心
不過都沒人看不出有甚麼功用就是了...

This is said to be the Teaching Center at Cingtiangang, but I don't see the use of it.









從小就莫名的很喜歡水
喜歡悠閒的泡在水裡
雖然不太會游泳
不過只要是跟水有關的地方、就會莫名的感到平靜
看到絹絲瀑布就在附近
當然要去啊!!!

Since young, I always had a strange obsession with water for some unknown reasons. Just staying in water and hearing water flow makes me calm. Even though I am not a good swimmer, but I like to be around water. And since a waterfall is near by, there's no reason not to go!




冷水坑 - 擎天崗 - 絹絲瀑布
路程基本上是形成一個三角形

直接看都不會很遠頂多2km...不過全部加起來就一點都不近啦
加上我們兩個預期兩三小時的短形成所以沒吃啥東西
開始超餓的了

往絹絲瀑布的路上、可能因為附近水氣很重
或是前幾天都在下雨的關係
路面很濕滑
好幾次差點滑倒、有點危險
不過我最喜歡這段路了
旁邊的水流聲、根森林的聲音
有種很平靜、很舒服、想找個地方拿本書起來看

瀑布本身比我想像的小了一點
不過還算是漂亮

Not far from Cingtiangang is the Jyuansih Waterfall. Donno if it's the rain yesterday, or the moist, the road to the waterfall is very slippery, I slip a few times. The waterfall is a bit smaller than I imagined, but it's still wonderful. I love this place, the sound of water, forest and the tranquillity of this area. Felt like reading a book and relaxing here.


看完瀑布後
我們已經餓扁了 >"<
決定走出去菁山路口坐公車回冷水坑
到路口後沒看到有站牌...
E想往下走找找看
我想說往上走、往冷水坑的方向
邊往冷水坑走邊找公車
哪知道都沒公車站!!! 走了1.5km左右到松園才有站牌
可是想說都快到冷水坑了、我們就沒等公車直接走回去
E威脅的說: 等等騎車下去、如果菁山路口往下不遠處有公車站牌的話妳就完蛋了!!!
=0=" (結果真的有 一.一!!)

Because our original plan wasn't supposed to be this long, we didn't really eat anything, so both of us are starving!!! We decide to head out to the main road to find a bus that goes back to Lengshuikeng. Without luck, after we hit the main road, we didn't see any bus stop. I decided to walk back up to Lengshuikeng in hope of finding a bus stop on the way, but ended up walking all the way back to Lengshuikeng. STARVING!!!










餓壞的兩個人
決定去預定要去的 洞天法國農莊 吃晚餐

After, we decided to go to a restaurant on the mountain.
 French Farm










這邊的view很不錯
我們來的時間剛好看夕陽

The view here is very nice, we were just in time for sunset.








餐點的價位有點高 (T_T 好貴)
不過分量倒是蠻足夠的
吃得很撐

The meals here are a bit expensive for me, but it was good enough and I had a very full meal.





當日鮪魚濃湯 + 麵包
Soup of the Day







前菜
酥炸花枝圈佐塔塔醬
Fried Cuttlefish
很好吃! 推薦







水蜜桃優格沙拉
Juicy Peach Yogurt Salad
我也很喜歡這個







我的主菜
碳烤鄉村豬排佐巴莎米可洋蔥醬
The Coal Roasted Pork Chop with Balsamico Onion Sauce
我很喜歡! 豬排肉在更嫩一點會更棒





E的主餐
帕瑪森乳酪肉醬義大利麵
Spaghetti Bolonaise with Parmesan Cheese
知道我的人都知道我對義大利麵興趣缺缺
加上又是普通的肉醬義大利麵、就覺得沒啥感覺
不過偷吃一口後發現
他的特殊調味
很特別又清爽,很好吃!






比起餐點
我的熱伯爵奶茶 Hot Earl Grey Milk Tea
就蠻讓人失望的了
牛奶加太少、茶又很苦澀
不是很喜歡






吃飽喝足後
結束了今天很開心很滿足的一天
假如沒有發生後來的事件的話.....一.一


吃完飯後、E騎車送我回家
一路上窄窄的山路加上很多急轉彎
我們的車速不能很快
可能因為天黑了
很多野狗都跑出來...
一路上被四五隻狗陸陸續續的追
超可怕!!!! 差點被咬到
問題是又不能騎很快、因為怕有來車危險
可是又怕被狗咬 >"<

今晚是我這輩子被狗追最多次的一天....

回到家後又迷迷糊糊的撞到洗衣機
右膝蓋當場腫起來 T___T


可惜了後來的突發事件
不然是超棒的一天了!!!


It would be a great day if we didn't get chased by dogs on our way back home!!!

10/10 The Top

這次雙十節週末的行程有點意料外
原本打算禮拜日去逢甲挑長禮服
結果變成禮拜六一回到台中
就跟老爸老媽先去了
原先預期只是想先去看看Huan Shu Chi的一件銀色長禮服
看一下價錢跟試穿
結果
店員說年底才會到
而且可能會是精品 (買不起的那種)
剛好有一些再折扣
變成挑了一件較實穿特價中的黑色小禮服

This long weekend was planning to go to Fong Jia Night Market to choose my evening dress for the recital. End up going to Huan Shu Chi's store to buy a short black dress instead, because the long dress I want is not in store yet and turns out that it might be one of the really expensive show dresses...(NT$100,000+)





禮拜日晚上就跟著葉伯伯回台北了
本來雙十節就打算窩在家洗衣服、練琴都不出門
意外的好天氣
晚上臨時E約說要不要去說了很久都還沒去的夜景餐廳
想說很近、走過去就到了
我們兩個就過去囉

Back in Taipei, and the weather's surprisingly nice and clear, so E invited me to go together to a scenary restaurant - The Top, since we've been talking about it for a while and it was within walking distance.







可能是雙十節、天氣又不錯
難得山上可以看到清晰的夜景
人還蠻多的

Might be because it's Taiwan's Birthday, and the weather is clear and warm. We have to wait a while to get seated.







這邊的夜景很不賴、很有氣氛
整體裝潢也很像在峇里島
如果隔壁桌沒再划酒拳的話會更好 一.一!!!

The night view is splendid, and has an atmosphere like as if in Bali. Would be even more nicer, if neighbouring table wasn't playing loud drinking games






我們兩個只點了湊合最低消費的餐點
(已經吃飽晚餐了加上是兩個窮學生:P)
我點了杯 Mojito
沒有很喜歡、我對 UZO 那邊的 Mojito 印象比較深刻
E的奶皇包跟藍莓茶也很普通
基本上就是來吃氣氛的囉

It's quite expensive here, at least for two students, so we only ordered two drinks. I got myself a Mojito, it was alright, didn't like it very much. I like the ones in UZO better.


後來我們換到Bar台直接看夜景
漂亮多了
The night view at the bar is even better.












吃完後我們慢慢走回去學校附近
第一次在晚上的時候跟人走來這邊看夜景說
有名的情侶約會地點 :P

雖然我覺得這邊美是很美可是很沒氣氛啦
因為到處都是人

After, we walked back heading home, passing the famous dating spot near school. It's pretty, but too many people around here to actually have a good date though...






最經典的是旁邊還有三攤烤肉、烤香腸攤子 冏
There're even three BBQ stands near by....







放鬆的晚上結束了一個長假
繼續努力上課賺錢囉

Relaxing night to end the long weekend. Back to school and work next day.  >"<
