花瓶岩，由於風化導致其上粗下細，再加上頂端長了些綠色植物，使其就像一個插了花草的花瓶，故名為花瓶岩；就我個人覺得，沿著步道走到另一邊再回頭看花瓶岩，會比較像一個花瓶。
The Flower Vase Rock, there are some plants growing at the top of the rock makes it looks like some flowers placed in a vase, hence the name. From my point of view, it looks more reality from the other side.
旁邊就是花瓶岩步道，是一條挺輕鬆的步道，沿著海岸線，吹吹風，聽聽潮水，很舒服的一段小徑。
Just next to the rock, it's Flower Vase Rock Trail, where people can walk by the baseline, feel the wind and listen to the tide. It's really relax.
百年老榕樹，依介紹來看，由於海風的吹拂，小琉球的植物大概都沒辦法存活很久，這棵百年老樹大概已經是島上活最久的老木了！
Century-old Banyan, with the sea winds that sweep over Liuqiu, there are not many plants can grow well here. I guess the Banyan here might the oldest tree on the island, over 100 years old.
說實話，是因為想看白燈塔才順便來老榕樹這兒拍幾張照。
Because it's next to the White Lighthouse, I came here and take some photos.
琉球嶼燈塔，或說白燈塔，其實是個很小的景點，四周都是植被，也沒辦法在附近逛逛走走，由不同的角度拍燈塔，大概就是來拍張照就差不多了可以離開了！
Liuqiu Yu Lighthouse, also known as White Lighthouse. It's really small and I don't know if it's opened for public or not. When I arrived, it's closed so I only stay there for couple minutes.
落日亭位於小琉球的西南方，前方沒有任何的阻礙物，正是一個觀賞夕陽的好地方。
The Sunset Pavilion is located on the western side of Liuqiu, which means it's a good place to watch the sunset. I don't know it's because of the weather or because of the place, it seems not easy to see the sunset just above the sea level here.
可惜不知是季節不對，或者就是運氣不好，遇上了大量懸浮微粒籠罩台灣的日子，夕陽的光線變得相當地黯淡；當我在趕來的途中，夕陽超大，超紅，超美的，就在抵達的前一刻，落日前的十到十五分鐘，突然光線就被擋光了，但明明西方天空又看不到什麼雲，真是可惜...若有下次，一定要在日落前三十分鐘就趕到此處。
I was thinking to take a photo that sun can just above the sea level, but the sun was covered by something I cannot tell, it might be the PM 2.5 (Particulate Matter up to 2.5 micrometers in size). On the way to Sunset Pavilion, the sun is so big, so red, so beautiful. When I arrive there, 10 to 15 minutes before exactly sunset, it was covered. If you would like to watch the sunset, I recommend you to arrive the Sunset Pavilion 30 minutes before the sunset.
這兒同時也是台灣的領海基點。
Here is also the basepoint of the territorial sea of Taiwan.
還有個裝置藝術在此，我很喜歡上方的那顆飄流木，那個強度，很像是一條龍，或是一隻魚躍出水面的樣子。
Here is an Installation Art which I don't know why put it here. I like it. It looks like some thing, a dragon or a fish jump out from water.

其實，這片景點的名稱是厚石群礁(裙礁)，只是，一大片的怪石不夠吸引人，正好在其南方有兩個挺特殊的礁石，算是不錯的小景點。
The Houshi Fringing Reef is the name of these strange rocks along the beach for several kilometers. Two of them have special names because of the shape.
紅番石，我覺得之所以叫做紅番石，重點是旁邊的樹木，真的是長得太好了，我從南邊過來時，還沒看到告示牌，光看到「型」就知道這是一個景點了，哈！
The first one is Indian Rock. It's really easy to tell why it called Indian Rock. The trees are so fantastic to make it much more easy to link to an Indian.
觀音石，據說是某個漁民發現的，就像是觀音望著海上，保佑漁民平安回家，我看告示牌上的照片也覺得滿像的，只是實物就看起來不太像了，似乎有某些細節被風化了的感覺。
The second one is Guanyin Rock. It's the goddess to protect the fishermen. But I think the picture on the board is much more easy to tell. The real one seems to be changed. Not easy to say it looks like a woman's face.
週末正打算到光華商場買點東西，剛離開捷運站就覺得餓了，利用Google找了幾家附近的餐廳，這間老德記正好是排序的第一名(可見排名的順序真的很重要呀！)，而且看來還挺多人在裡面用餐的，就決定在這兒解決我的午餐。
One day, I was going to the Guang Hua Digital Plaza for some electric device. Since it's already lunch time, I use Google to search a restaurant nearby and this one comes the first, the Diner Ramen Restaurant.
這間店走的是相當老式的風格了，放了蔣介石的塑像，還有許多的黑白老照片，算是某種強調是五十年以上老店的風情吧～
It seems that this is a restaurant which links to the ex-president, Chiang Kai-shek, and many old photos which makes me think about Second Sino-Japanese War. Kind of old style but it won't remind me any historical thing anymore.
我點了兩樣小菜，豬耳朵還滿平常的，一般麵店比較少見的鹹蛋苦瓜就讓人有點失望，苦瓜本身不錯，脆脆的，不太會苦，只是鹹蛋太少，提不出味道，感覺有點像在吃涼拌苦瓜。
I choose two plates of side dishes, the Spicy Crispy Pig Ear and the Bitter Gourd with Salted Egg. The pig ear is general, you can find it any where in Taiwan as a traditional restaurants. The Bitter Gourd is much less. For me, the bitter gourd is good, but the salted egg is not enough to enrich the flavor of the side dish.
原汁牛肉麵是一道很少見的料理，於是就點來嚐嚐，湯汁看來還滿清淡的，似乎主要是靠醬油來提味，還算不錯；拉麵部分我就覺得太粗了，並不能很好地吸收湯汁的味道；我很喜歡它的牛肉，煮得很軟，且肉香有留住，特別有兩塊還帶著筋或是肥油的牛肉，既Q又不時會有湯汁從牛肉溢出，真的是太好吃了～
I ordered the Original Flavor of Beef Noodles. The soup looks clean which might only add some soy sauce to bring the taste. It's easy to say that the noodles are handmade with a little hard taste, for me it's too thick and too hard. But I love their beef, especially the one with tendon or fat (I'm not sure). The beef is cooked really soft and with the tendon, it's a new taste for me which I love.
