日月潭位於南投縣魚池鄉,
如詩如畫的湖水,
是全台灣最大與最美的高山淡水湖。
海拔高748公尺,
面積116平方公里,
全潭以拉魯島(光華島)為界,
南如月弧,北如日輪,
因而得名為「日月潭」。

漫步在群山環繞的湖邊,

沿途美景,鳥叫蟲鳴,

猴群飛舞在叢林。


陽光映在湖面,

彷彿許多閃燦的小星星。


來到原住民文化村,

觀賞原住民迎賓歌舞,

享受傳統風味美食⋯

令人難忘的一趟心靈之旅。


Sun Moon Lake is located at Yuchi Township, 

Nantou County,

The lake in a picturesque place, 

is the most wide and beautiful freshwater lake 

in Taiwan.

Altitude 748 meter, 

and the area 116 square meter. 

Bounded by Lalu Island, 

the south is shaped like a moon,

and north is like a sun.

Therefore, named as 

“ Sun Moon Lake “


Stroll along the lake surrounded by beautiful scenery.

Enjoy the landscape of mountains and lake

along the way. 

Birds and insects are chirping,

monkeys are dancing and flying 

in the forest. 


The sun reflected on the lake. 

seems like twinkle little stars

shine billions dots of light.  


Coming to aboriginal culture village

to watch welcome singing and dancing

and enjoy traditional flavors...

Unforgettable a spiritual journey.

搭乘高空覧車登上烏來瀑布頂端的

雲仙樂園 -

蝴蝶紛飛、鳥語花香⋯

湖中的魚兒樂悠游。


徜徉在古木參天、

美不勝收的園區⋯

暫時與世隔絕。


Climb to the Yun Hsien Resort - 

top of Wulai waterfall by aerial cable car. 

Flying butterflies, 

singing birds and fragrant flowers...

Fishes are swimming in the lake  joyfully. 


Stroll in the beautiful park 

with towering ancient trees...

keeping away from the world

while I am here.

烏來瀑布 - Wulai waterfall

 



盈珍攝影 - Ying Chen photographe 
 

『烏來』

一詞原為台灣原住民泰雅族

的用語,意思是「溫泉」,

位於臺灣北部山地區。

 

溪流蜿蜒穿越山谷

沿途秀麗山水美不勝收。


佇立80公尺高的瀑布前

想起唐詩《瀑布》施肩吾:

 豁開青冥顛,瀉出萬丈泉。

如裁一條素,白日懸秋天。」


此時此刻,

連綿不斷的瀑布穿越雲層

由天而降。

恰似素絹,

由秋高氣爽的藍天飄然而下。


“ Atayal “

is Taiwanese aborigines their originally term,

it means hot spring,

located at mountain area of northern Taiwan. 


Stream meanders through the valley, 

beautiful  scenery along the way.


Standing in front of the 80 meters waterfall...

thinking of a Tang poem...

Myriad spring water continuously

fall from the cope of heaven,

like a piece of plain silk, 

it floats down from the crisp blue sky in autumn.

台北 - 迪化街 Taipei - Dihua Street

 


盈珍攝影 - Ying Chen photographe 

台北迪化街建於1850年代

大稻程社區

充滿古典建築與文化氣息。

19世紀末以來

一直是台北重要的南北貨、

中藥、布料、茶葉的集散中心。


台灣古蹟保存計劃

使大稻程,迪化街得以

成為台北市保留最完整的老街。

每年的農曆新年前夕

舉辦規模盛大的

「台北年貨大街」熱鬧非凡。 


1920年代末是其全盛期。

許多建築

有外觀簡約,線條與比例均衡的

現代主義式建築。

閩南式建築,

大戶家族的家徽式浮雕裝飾。

還有富麗堂皇仿巴洛克的

洋式建築。

歷經整修才得以恢復這些古建築

的風華。

樓房內多元的商業,文化

與藝術創作活動

增添不少雍容與活力。


走過多少滄桑歲月,

城隍廟前的裊裊煙霧

彷彿不斷傾訴古老的傳說

感動人們虔誠的心。


Taipei Di-Hua Street

constructed at year of 1850 

in the ancient community of

Da-Dao-Cheng 

full of vintage house 

and cultural spirit.

which was the prime financial trade center in Taiwan. 

Such as traditional Chinese medicine, cloth, tea 

were exported during the age of discovery 

in the late 19th century. 


Da-Dao-Cheng

could able to preserve the original style 

because of the 

Taiwan’s Cultural Heritage Preservation Act. 

On every Lunar New Year's Eve. 

hold a grand event of

“ Lunar New Year Shopping Area ”

extraordinarily bustling.


The year of 1920 was its heyday. 

Mass construction of new buildings - 

Simple appearance, 

balance lines and proportions, modernist architecture.

Southern Fujian style architecture, 

rich and influential family 

crest embossed decoration.

And the magnificent imitation of 

Baroque buildings. 

After renovation,

the elegance of these ancient buildings was restored.

Diversified commercial, cultural 

and artistic activities in the buildings 

enhance a lot of grace and vitality

of the community. 


So many vicissitudes of life have passed.

The light smoke curling up from Chenghuang Temple 

seems to keep talking about 

ancient legends 

and touching people's pious hearts.
