Morn's Taiwan Trip! Day 3!

第三天：阿里山看日出 ，逛國家森林後出發→玉山国家公园→日月潭"坐船環潭(夜宿)。
Day 3: Alishan sunrise, Alishan National Park --> YuShan National Park --> Sun Moon Lake.

一早起来（430am）走路到火车站搭火车到祝山站。
430am, walked to the train station, and went for ChuShan Station.

虽然一大早，还蛮多人一起癫的。。。埃。。。
Though very early, but still a lot of people...

Look at our faces... Sigh... It was 445am...

I was so sleepy....

看他们强颜欢笑的样子，就知道很辛苦啦。
See their faces, then you know...

这样辛苦为什么呢？就是为了这日出的一霎那。。。
Woke up so early for what? For this moment when the sun rise...

Feeling better...

看完了日出，就往国家森林走。。。
自从最大的神木倒了以后，香林神木就成为旅客票选的神木。
别小看这些神木，闲闲地上千年的。。。
Thousands years old tree...

在国家森林里面有人拍照，有人跳舞，真happy。。。
We're enjoying ourselves in the park...

出名的"三代木"。
The famous 3 generation tree.

像极了大象的树。
Like an elephant?

Daddy, Mommy, and me....

树灵塔，是日本人过分砍伐桧木后，用来祭神木的。

Another family photo...

拍拍照。。。
Took some photos.

In front of the abandoned school.

Mommy and me.

沿途经过香火鼎盛的“受镇宫”。顺便看看人家如何庆祝中元节。开开眼界。
On the way back, there is a temple, just want to see how Taiwanese
 are celebrating their "Hungry Ghost Festival".

看完神木与庙，就起程去日月潭了。。。

中途又有一神木，鹿林神木，听说是数一数二的大哩。

On the way down, saw another big tree.

途中的“夫妻树”和“玉山国家公园”。
Stopped by the "Couple Tree" and YuShan National Park.

喔，到日月潭了。
Yay, we reached Sun Moon Lake...

我们的游艇蛮大的哩。
Quite a big one. Hehehe....

看我们多富贵。这是我们包的游艇。整艘属于我们的喔！！！
VIP treatment, this is our yacht, I mean our... No sharing with others...

多开心。
Happy.

Famous "Mushroom Tea Egg".

Pretty lady in traditional costume...

晚上，在日月潭真的没什么搞作。再加上下雨，逛一逛大街后，就回民宿了。
There was nothing much at night in Sun Moon Lake... (Raining some more...)

第四天的行程将陆续post上来。。。

Will be continued....

Morn's Taiwan Trip! Day 2!

Day 2: After breakfast --> 集集(綠色隧道) Chi Chi (Green Tunnel) --> 水里(中餐+冰棒) Shuili (Lunch+Dessert) --> 塔塔加(玉山、阿里山國家公園) (Yushan, Alishan National Park) --> 阿里山 Alishan 

Our breakfast!!!

Our Toyota Wish.

Taichong Misua.

Yummy!

Green tunnel, here we come!

Why is it called Green Tunnel? Because of the trees at both sides....

为何叫绿色隧道呢？大路两旁满满的大树，形成一条绿色道路。

It's me！ 

可爱的我。

绿色隧道旁的火车轨旁大合照。
Our group photo.

After the Green Tunnel, we went for JiJi Train Station

The old train.

又一家出名的嘉义肉羹。牛肉面，肉羹，葱油饼都不错。
Nice beef noodle, meat soup, etc.

Yummy yummy。。。

吃了嘉义肉羹，去了一间庙。不过忘了名字。
只记得旁边有两条桥。一条叫“天长”，另一条叫“地久”。
A nice temple.

过后，我们就直奔奋起湖。不过奇怪，湖在哪？
Fen Chi Hu. (Lake?)

Me and Aunt PS.

奋起湖有山，有火车，有便当，有云，有其他的东西。就是没有湖。

其实，湖是指被环山包围的云海啦。
The "Lake" is referring to the clouds surrounded by the nearby mountains.

 

 奋起湖哪有一间爱玉伯伯的家。伯伯是爱玉专家。

可爱的爱玉伯伯。
Uncle "AiYu" is very friendly.

告别了伯伯，上阿里山！！！

途中的日落景色。Good！
This is the "Lake" effect we are talking about...

美呗？？
Nice?

看完了日落，就check in 我们的青山别馆囖。
After the sunset view, we went for our hotel.

选择有限，其实也还好啦。
There are limited choices up there... But this one ok lor...

晚上的丰富一顿.
Nice dinner in Alisan...

第二天就这样过了。。。明天我们要在430am 起床搭火车到祝山看日出。
That's about it for Day 2, we have to wake up 4:30am the next day for sun rise....
