[Taiwan] 馬祖,東引島景點 (上)


中柱港便是我們抵達東引島的第一個地點,基本上,島上的民宿老闆應該都會來此接送旅客,畢竟交通實在是不方便,而且我們住的民宿─海角民宿,可是在更偏遠的西引島。
The harbor, we arrived at 6:00 AM. The host of B&B drive us back to the hotel since the accommodation is far away, at the Xiyin Island.

由於天候不佳,再加上昨晚大家睡得都不好,抵達民宿,就先躺到床上,睡個三五小時再說,之後才騎上租來的機車,在島上逛逛,底下,是僅有的一些,在此風雨下仍有開放的景點。
Since the weather is bad, we took a rest for couple hours then rode scooters to visit some spots on the island. Below are those still opened with the bad weather.


就在民宿旁的清水澳,若往下走到海邊,據說也是有機會可以看到藍眼淚的地方,只是我們來時,或許因為潮汐不對,並未見到。 
Qingshuiao, I heard from the host of B&B that here may have the chance to find the Sea Sparkle at night.


西引島的界標─人定勝天。

連接東引,西引的中柱堤,上面有感恩亭,有著很少見的,蔣經國的銅像。

烈女義坑,如照片所見,由於最大陣風超過十級風,步道被封閉了,這次一些有名的景點,例如國之北疆,一線天等等,皆是如此,所以都沒辦法去走,至少在此,還可以拍拍照,哈~
The Suicide Cliff. As you can see, it's closed because of the strong wind. We can only took photos at the top, cannot go down to see how dangerous it is.









東引島燈塔,這兒是我來到東引島的主因,只可惜,沒有搭上藍天,那樣超美的~
The Dongyin Lighthouse. Here is the major reason I came to Dongyin Island. It's so beautiful at a sunny day. 






安東坑道,這是這次旅行參觀的第一個坑道,只能說,難怪當兵時不想抽到「金馬獎」,生活條件的確不算很好,不過能挖出這樣的坑道,當年的學長們,也真是厲害!
The Andong Tunnel. You can image how hard it was when building it by visit today.


戶外的景點逛得差不多了,決定到村中的便利超商補給一下,也來參觀一下,這間全台最北邊的7-11,人稱「北七店」!
After visit the spots in the field, we went to middle of the village and find the 7-11 located at the northernmost of Taiwan.

[Taiwan] 馬祖,台馬之星

從台灣前往馬祖,有兩種方式,可以搭乘從基隆前往東引島,南竿島的渡輪,目前負責的渡輪是台馬之星,網址是:http://www.shinhwa.com.tw/
There are two different ways to go to Matsu Islands. You may take the cruise between Keelung and Matsu Islands. It will arrive Dongyin Island and Nangan Island. The website of the cruise is:
http://www.shinhwa.com.tw/


由於只有一艘船,且來回可能至少要花二十小時,有不少需要注意的地方:
1. 船班一週開六班,每週二公休(指的是週二晚上沒有航班)。
2. 若第一天的航班順序是基隆-->東引島-->南竿島,隔天便是基隆-->南竿島-->東引島。
3. 無論是哪一種順序,從南竿島出發的時間,固定為早上九點半。
4. 因此,抵達東引島的早班船會是早上六點,但午班則是十一點,兩者會影響到能待在東引島的時間,雖然東引島似乎沒有大到差這五個小時就逛不完,但悠閒度會有點小區別。
5. .航班離開基隆港的時間則是晚上十點。
6. 如果訂到了船班,別忘了當天早上十點要上官網查閱最新消息,船公司會公布當晚的航班是否照常出發,還是因為海象不佳而停駛。
7. 可以預約航班的時間,基本上是出發前的兩個月,從當天的午夜十二點一分開始(最近似乎網站有問題,從早上八點半才能開始)。
Because is really far away, there are some policies:
1. It closed on Tuesday, it's the day for them to take a rest.
2. If the first day it arrives Dongyin first, the next day it will go to Nangan first.
3. No matter what, the time it leaves Nangan is always 9:30 AM.
4. Because of that, if Dongyin first, it will arrive there at 6:00 AM. If Nangan first, it will arrive Dongyin at 11:00 AM.
5. The time it leaves Keelung is at 10:00 PM.
6. If you book the cruise, don't forget to check the website at 10:00 AM on the day. It will announce if the cruise will go or not in the night.
7. The time you can book the cruise is two months before, starts from 00:01.

第二個前往馬祖的方式則是飛機,可從台北松山機場飛往南竿或是北竿,飛行時間大約一小時,另外台中也有航班(只到南竿),只是相對台北,航班數少了很多。
The second way is to take air plane from Taipei Songshan Airport to Matsu Nangan Airport or Matsu Beigan Airport (about one hour). And Taichung also has flight to Matsu Nangan Airport, but only two flights a day.

由於朋友跟我介紹東引島非常地漂亮,所以我這次是從基隆搭船出發,畢竟可以省一個晚上的住宿,且抵達東引島的時間又是早上六點,可以遊玩的時間非常充分,回程則是規劃由南竿島飛回松山,很幸運地,我的船班和航班都順利出發。
I booked the cruise to go because I want to visit Dongyin Island because a friend told me it's so beautiful there. And the cruise is the only to go there. 5 days later, I reserve the flight from Nangan Airport to Songshan Airport. I was lucky that the cruise and flight can go as my expectation.



當晚登上台馬之星後,稍微逛了下,才發現設備挺齊全的,餐廳裡,零食點心很充裕,只是我並沒有購買,不知價格是不是跟岸上的便利超商一致。
This is the restaurant on the boat. It has everything you may want, but I don't know the price. I didn't buy any there.


如果還不想睡,可以到最上層甲板,有個戶外用餐區,在此吃一碗泡麵,海風吹得很舒服,是件挺享受的事!
If you don't want to eat food indoor, you can go up to here. It's really cool to sit here and have some instant noodles.



離港時,基隆港的夜景也挺棒的!
When it leaves the harbor, the landscape of Keelung is beautiful.


看完夜景,只好回歸現實了,現實就是,我並沒有訂到「床位」,今天的人潮居然爆炸地多,我只有「座位」可以過夜,雖然那座位比我想像得好,有挺大的空間可以橫躺下來,但或許因為沒有翻身的空間,睡得不是很好,大概只睡了三四個小時吧!對了,別忘了到二樓櫃台借條毯子,深夜時分,船上的冷氣變得超級冷,即使穿著外套都還會冷得發抖!
At last, I have to go back to my bed. Yes, this is my bed. I didn't reserve a bed on the cruise, only have a seat. To be honest, it's not so comfortable, although it looks better than I expected. I may only sleep for 3 to 4 hours. And don't forget to ask for a blanket, it will be really cold at midnight. I don't know why, but the air condition is so cold.

[Taiwan] 台北,捷運國父紀念館站,起家雞 (Cheogajip,光復店)

起家雞是間台北街頭很熱門的韓式炸雞餐廳,上次想吃的時候,居然七點初頭就排不到內用座位了,真是誇張;這天,比較有空,在六點半抵達,拿到了內用權,但還是要等到快八點,真的是讓人驚訝!
The Cheogajip is a very famous Korean style of fried chicken restaurant in Taipei. Last time we came here around 7 o'clock and there is no room for eating here. You may only take away. So we found a time to came here more early, arrived at 6:30, but we can only get in one hour later...


菜單上的口味其實不多,總共八種,另外還可以點半半炸雞,一次品嚐兩種口味,但是,卻只有五種組合,而且還不能加價選購其他組合,我在猜,這是不是店家吸引回流客的手法,讓人每次都只能吃到一種口味,就會多來幾次,總之,由於比較想吃的兩種口味不在組合裡,就點了頂級洋釀全雞,450元。 
There are not so many choices. It has 8 different flavors in total, but only provide 5 combinations if you want to try two flavors at the same time. Maybe this is why people come here again and again, want to try all the flavors. Because the combination doesn't have waht we want. We just ordered the Supreme Yung Nyeom for NTD 450.


附贈的小菜,醃蘿蔔,如果炸雞吃得有點膩,吃吃這個微酸的爽口醃蘿蔔挺不錯的,且吃完可以再叫,讚! 
Free side dish for pickled radish. You can ask for more if you finish it.


頂級洋釀全雞,挺大一盤的,不過兩個人吃的話,挺剛好的,四周的客人都是吃光光的;口味上挺特別的,帶著微微的甜味,且有「涮嘴」的感覺,讓人一塊接著一塊,其實不太會有膩的感覺,口味調得很棒,再加上多汁,嫰Q的雞肉,真的很好吃! 
The Supreme Yung Nyeom taste of fried chicken. The sauce is a little bit sweet and lip smacking. Even the chicken is juicy and chewy, but I think the sauce is the key why people come back again and again. It's really finger licking.


另外點了瓶台啤,有趣的是杯子,不知是不是在韓國喝燒酒時會加水還是加冰塊稀釋,所以才會有這樣的酒杯,說明各種比率下的酒精濃度。
The interesting glass for bear.

[Japan] 京都,右京區(嵐山),天龍寺 (Tenryū-ji)

由於我先在嵐山よしむら手打蕎麥麵用餐,我是從南門進入天龍寺。
Since I have my lunch at Arashiyama Yoshimura, I entered the Tenryū-ji from the South Gate.




一進門就先在庫院買票,總共是八百日幣,分為庭園參拜五百,諸堂參拜三百,如果不購買諸堂參拜,基本上,建築物的內部就都不能進入,都已經來了,省那三百元實在沒什麼必要。
Buy the ticket at Kuri, total ¥ 800. To visit the garden only is ¥ 500.













從庫院開始參觀,我覺得有趣的是,很多拉門其實都是拉開的,甚至還有建築外部的走廊,參觀過程其實會和參觀庭園的遊客有一些眼神交會,好像有點不自在,但又好像互為對方在觀賞的風景,是個好玩的體驗。
To visit inside the building, just directly get in from the Kuri. But you may still have eye contact with the tourists who is walk around the garden. That's interesting.








參觀完建築內部,再從外部逛一遍,可以看到庭院植物與建築物共生的景色,又是另一種美~
Leaving the building, it's my turn to take a look about the garden. Sometimes it's a different way to see the buildings.




這棵樹是天龍寺中我的最愛,第一張照片有種「半枯半榮」的味道,第二張照片則是漆黑的樹幹樹枝,在美麗的藍色天空下,似乎正在閃閃發亮!
I like this tree very much. There are no leaves on it. It's so black with the blue sky, it's amazing!










曹源池,沒有很漂亮的楓紅,個人覺得還好。
The Sogenchi Teien (Sogen Pond Garden), the maples doesn't be so red. So I didn't take so many pictures.


最後,從北門離開天龍寺。
At last, I leave the Tenryū-ji at the North Gate.

賞楓日期:2016年11月23日。 

建議賞楓期間:11月下旬。 
Time I visited: November 23rd, 2016. 
Best time to see: in late November.
