登上聖母峰,傳說中最美的「抹茶山」就在眼前,有如抹茶冰淇淋般的山脈層巒疊嶂,讓人不停按下快門。
As you ascend the peak, the legendary Matcha Mountain unravels before your eyes.
What draws so many to come here and take countless snapshots are the furls of mountain ridges that perfectly imitate greenish matcha ice cream.
原來這座「抹茶山」其實就是宜蘭三角崙山,屬於雪山山脈,因此遙望雪山稜脈,可見山巒無限綿延。而草坡綿延的景致通常只見於2,000公尺以上的高山,在這僅900公尺高的山丘竟能見美麗草坡全要歸功於強勁的東北季風,把山巒植被吹成這副有如綠毯般的高山草坡美景。
This “Matcha Mountain” is actually named Sanjiaolun Peak (三角崙山), which belongs to the Xueshan Range (雪山山脈).
If you try to look out towards this mountain range, you’ll notice that it seems to stretch out infinitely.
The presence of grass slopes is usually only seen in the mountains above 2,000 meters, but these vividly green hills are only at 900 meters high, all thanks to the strong northeastern monsoon, which blows into the mountain vegetation and transforming it into an emerald carpet of grassy slopes.
這段健腳路線登山步道之旅,來回約莫半天時間,屬於初級的登山路線。不過,對於平常很少走入山林的網友們,可是會讓人走到鐵腿的。
This section of the hiking trail takes about half a day back and forth and belongs to the elementary-level hiking route.
However, for those who rarely ever walk into the mountains and forests, the trek might leave their legs feeling numb.
