[Taiwan] 苗栗，龍騰斷橋 (Longteng Bridge)

在攝影師和鐵道迷心中，龍騰斷橋都是一個很美的景點，那優美的弧形拱橋與藍天的搭配，拍起照來，很美；已經停駛的舊山線，仍然保留了一段美好的過去回憶，正是鐵道迷的追求；在這新春第一天，利用晴朗的好天氣，跟難得順暢的交通，從台北開了兩小時的車來到了苗栗龍騰斷橋走走。
The Longteng Bridge is a very famous place for a photographer and also for a railfan. For a photographer, the classical shape is what everyone wants to capture. For a railfan, the Old Mountain Line is a railway branch line located in Miaoli County and Taichung City.

一個稍微有點奇怪的露營地，不懂為什麼會大門深鎖，但又明明似乎有看到人在裡面活動，來露營不就是應該多接觸大自然嗎？不知為何會有這樣，有點拒人於千里之外的營地設計。
A weird camping park for me. The door is closed but I can see some people inside there. I don't get it. Camping should make people feel comfortable with nature. Why it closed to refuse people contact?

由於車子停在較高的停車場，從上方開始走起，看看整個山谷的景色與從另一角度看到的斷橋。
I parked the car at a higher parking lot, so I take an overview of the spot first.

往下走，有個小集市可以稍作休息，吃點小點心；桌上還放了些古早童玩，滿多年輕人會拿起來玩兩手，只是都很生份就是了，嘻～
When going down, there are bathroom and hawkers down the hill. People may take a rest here or have some food. There are some children's folklore for my parent's generation on the table. Many young generations pick them up and have a try. That's really interesting.

 

 

龍騰北斷橋，大部分的人都集中在這兒走走與拍照，有點可惜的是第一座的橋墩在很久以前就因為地震而掉落了。 
The north section of the Longteng Bridge. It still shows the arc of the design, that's really beautiful. 

其實，往回走一點的地方，有個向下的步道可以通往河對岸，看看不一樣的龍騰南斷橋。
On the way back to the parking lot, just next to the two signs. There is a small track going down. It will bring you to the south section of the bridge across the river. That's totally different to the north side.

很少人到這兒來看看南斷橋，人很少，陽光很溫暖，給人一種百年不變，很平靜，但又帶著蒼涼的感覺～
Less people here and more trees. Looks like the tree house in Tainan. More nature which my family loves more. Peaceful and beautiful.
