第三天的台湾之旅,天不作美。本来满心期待这篇会是被蓝天白云给布满的文章,但是到了清境才发现它的美是没有了蓝天白云也有另一番风情,用大自然的景象制作事后影像处理的过滤镜(filter)。就连照片中也能告知冷风索索的意境。

酣旅BnB吃过早餐后,我们包车至清境。


As the third day in Taiwan, weather was being unkind to us as it rained throughout the whole afternoon. You can't really imagine when excitement just got me through and I had been expecting to embrace the large green field that its edge connects with a plain blue sky. But I was backfired. Also maybe I was so blessed that I found the scenery and view of Cing Jing Farm was mercifully amazing even in the mist. I needed no filter for pictures I guess. Each of them was gratefully covered with a natural filter.


We had our breakfast at HoneyBnB before taking chartered bus to Cing Jing.









上一篇谈到了非常细心的房东亲自帮我们安排在台中的行程,这次的早餐都是也是很用心烹煮的。怎么说呢?因为面包全都是手工自制的。套一句房东说的话:“在我这儿吃东西不一定会饱,但一定好!”。嗯,我心里跟着默默的附和。


喜欢摄影的人,这里肯定很适合。(因为我自认我的照片还蛮不错的,哈哈!


In the previous entry I had pointed out how attentive the landlord was as he planned the itinerary for us. What worth mentioning is that, he prepared the breakfast wholeheartedly as he prepared the bread by himself. Quoting what the landlord told us "People who have meal here might not feel full but they certainly have it good". Of course, I agreed.


Also, for those who like photography, you might really want to come here. (I sincerely feel my pictures are awesome! HAHA)




我觉得一家民宿最值得赞赏的地方是它会不会在你的旅途中构成一部分很重要的回忆。当然我用图片记录是可以记录回忆。但与其说用相机‘创造’回忆,我更希望的是在我心坎里实实在在的烙下回忆。我喜欢的是房东会在每一个房间里的书桌上放置记事本让每位曾经住过的住客留下一笔一划的。等到哪一天翻回去的时候,至少有这么一段文字记录着我们住客和房东的缘分,是远远超过相机可为你‘创造’的回忆录。


下图是我在记事本里留下的字句。


I like photography and I like photograph the things I feel nice, I tend to seize the scene and keep it forever with me through camera, so more often than not, people would usually say photos create memories. I certainly agree but there's something irreplaceable that, even, camera would not be able to do that. That's the bond. What I like the most about this BnB is that I felt a bond between us who were travelling, the people here and the entire country. 

There was each a book in a room for the guests to leave their note, be it their feelings or anything regarding the stay. I read through almost every notes and I found the greatest thing is that when you look back at the book after some times, the memories are really, irreplaceable.





热心、健谈、细心的房东。


Helpful and attentive landlord.

可谓历经千辛万苦才抵达清境,皆因要前往清境的山路都非常的陡峭。如果你血糖较低或是像我一样有严重的晕车症,建议你于上山的半小时前服用晕车药。在台湾你会看到满街的快炒档口或是店,当然在清境也不例外。在路上折腾了一番,也该医肚子了。


由于等得稍微有些久(好多观光客)加上已经饿上了,所以没拍到食物的照片,请见谅哈哈。


For someone who get motion sickness like me, it took countless hardships to travel up the hill to Cing Jing as the roads are narrow and winding. So a suggestion here, consume tablet at least 30mins before the journey.

In Taiwan, you'll get to see stalls or restaurants that serve quick-frying dishes almost everywhere. So we decided to try out before entering Cing Jing farm and we did not take any photo of the food due to utter hungriness.





购票(台币160/人)进入青青草原后,进入眼帘的是一片朦胧美。由于高山低温加上雨天,导致四处雾起。其实在早前一天看到朋友在青青草原的照片,一整片的蓝天已让人羡慕不已,那时的我已经迫不及待地等待着躺在一片绿油油的草原上,而背景的青草地与蓝天相辉映。可惜天不作美,下了场长命雨。不过没关系,把悲愤化为力量,在朦胧之中寻找美感!


The entrance fee of Cing Jing Farm is NTD$160/person. It started to rain before we got in hence what welcomed us was the thick mist and damp weather. The day before we went to Cing Jing I had seen my friends posted the photos of them visiting on Facebook and I just could not wait to embrace the blue skies that connect with the large green field already.

Who would have thought the weather got dramatically changed like girls changing clothes?

But alright, we would explore the beauty in this smoky circumstance.







在青青草原的另一端:499个阶梯。旅行+健走。


一路沿着青青草原走到出口,再跟着行人路径一直往下走,会看到许许多多的小吃店、礼品店、伴手礼店等等。如下图。再一直往下走就会抵达小瑞士花园的门口。


Another side of Cing Jing Farm, a total of 499 steps.

Walking along Cing Jing Farm until you reach at the exit and follow the pedestrian pathway you will get to see stalls, restaurants, souvenirs shop and etc. To go Little Swiss Garden, you have to keep walking down the pathway.








还未进入小瑞士花园之前,是一个热闹的区域,喝茶叹咖啡、餐厅、创意区域等等都在这一区。那进入小瑞士花园之前也是得购票,全票为台币120元,那如果像我一样你有学生证是可以获得折扣的,学生票价为台币90元。那时并没什么看到花簇的模样,可能还在培育,估计2-3月春天应该会开满花儿。


Before the entrance of Little Swiss Garden, you'll get to see a lively happening area where people are savouring tea and coffee, creative areas and etc. The entrance fee of Little Swiss Garden is NTD$120, you will be able to get the ticket at NTD$90 if you're a student like me.

I guess the flowers were still cultivating. You may expect to see blossoms in Feb-March.









走得有点累了,潮湿的空气也把头发弄塌了。


7点前可以到云濛仙境(民宿)点餐。此民宿也开放餐厅于外人享用,专提供云南式酸辣味菜肴。7点后,他们就会开始准备晚餐,价钱和食物也依据套餐的不同而定。可惜两人套餐也有6道菜之多,已经非常饱的我们也没在那边用餐了。详情可参阅这里


If you'd like to have dinner, you could go to Yun Meng Xian Jing (guesthouse). Despite a guesthouse, they also serve outsiders. They are famous for Yun Nan style dishes where you could have sour and spicy dishes over there. But you'd have to order before 7pm.
