Most people rush into famous precious Jhaorih Hot Spring but neglect a little trail up to the cape on the southeastern tip of Green Island. Just pass through the parking lot, you can climb through stairs and win excellent panoramic views. Overlooking Jhaorih Hot Spring is necessary for shutterbugs like me. Plus, boundless green pasture seems to stretch to the crystal blue sky and down to fabulous greenish ocean. And shame goats grazed slowly on the green carpet, forming peaceful scenery like Mongolia. By the way, they still escaped away or climb to rugged cliffs when I approached.
朝日溫泉停車場附近,有個小路可攀爬上海峽,值得阿~~
On the top of cape, I saw infinite THE PACIFIC OCEAN. And that take me at least an hour to appreciate, meditate and daze.
寬闊世界在腳下,俯視朝日溫泉;一片寬闊,起伏青草地點綴山羊,站在頂端,碧藍太平洋呼喚著。
The fifth Stop, Little Great Wall
It offered the interesting overlooking views in Green Island.
歡迎來到綠島最佳野餐地點。
Around ten-minute walk through 200-meter-long trail, there located two overlooking pavilions on precipitous capes at the end. Sitting on bench, beautiful shoreline of eastern island expanded in front of us. We couldn’t help but keep our camera working. Giant rocky formation—Sleeping Beauty and her Pekinese dogs is a new fairy tale in Green Island style. To the north, rolling hills downed to rugged beaches and then embraced greenish blue ocean with white waves and foams framed on the edge. And here came my favorite part—The Pacific Ocean. Breeze brought unique salty smell of the ocean and blew away hotness during riding. Melody of waves mixed with crashing sounds adding flavors, which I never tired of listening and enjoying. The brightly color was consist of layers ranging from greenish blue to sapphire to darken. OH… ….
小段步道爬上涼亭,是視野寬闊有桌椅讓你坐著看,面對睡美人和他的哈巴狗還有優美海岸線,涼風徐徐吹,如果有吊床,願意呆上一個下午看書睡覺看聽太平洋阿~
My friend and I totally agreed this is a wonderful picnic spot with round stone table and oceanic views, a happy lunch time to memorize in your life time.
When we followed the directing signboard and went down steep slope (make sure you get well-functioned scooter), on the flat ground facing the ocean sit several broken housings. Most bricks were either faded into deep gray or broken. Vine occupied and spread whole house. Even though we were females, we may not were brave enough to step inside—dark and full of nails or broken bed. I couldn’t tell which one is kitchen or place for stocks. But I wondered how the ancestors felt in such isolated world surrounded by precipitous mountain. Maybe they were fulfilled because life was simple in tranquil pretty seashore.
柚子湖,非湖只是地形狀似湖也。史前古蹟一處,傳統住屋雖棄然保存尚好,只是爬藤植物綠幽幽占屋為王;黑暗屋內佈滿鐵架釘子,讓好奇的我也卻步,感受不出珍貴點,在哪?
I said “I decide to travel until the end of road in Green Island” and were curious how would be if I was IN SEA-ERODED CAVE.
探索周遭,比較實際。XD
Start my adventure.
Near abandoned housings, a lovely beach is welcome me to play with waves creeping up my feet and sliding back. Scratchy sands massaged my toes. Blessed the world!
正前方,漂亮沙灘一枚!
Then head the north. There seemed an intriguing cave at the foot of cape at far. Jump around rugged coral rocks and stop to caress strange lines on the rocks. It suddenly reminded me that here once was coral world in colors with schools of splendid fishes swimming among. Closed my eyes and imagined I was there. Light gray rocky beach turned into colorful vivid undersea world. Swimming with my favorite tropical fishes, I arrived at the cave.
Literally it is not a cave but a bow-shaped tunnel with 3 meters high in bright. Chocolate-cookies-like rocks scattered around and small area of sandy ground rimmed along brown walls in layers. Stepping inside, I realized I found a performing square for waves—the details of melodies became clearer to appreciate. Closed my eyes and enjoy my discover. I wondered what kind of instrument will be a super match with the ocean. Maybe I should bring all of them and hold experiences here. Touching weird lines of rocks, I knew they told stories about marine. I couldn’t speak your languages but I did enjoy abstract brown artworks painted from yellowish brown to coffee brown. Strolled to another exist, time to go back my dear friend.
向北方,一個神秘洞穴,跳過層層石化珊瑚礁,答案是個酷酷的彎弓洞。聽海濤聲,清晰回音;奇妙石紋,說著大海的故事。
Then I found another easier path paved in sandy not rocky coral reefs.
