難得到訪台中,不妨前往隱藏在東勢區山蘇森林附近的「巨人之手」,神秘的巨人半身隱沒在土地下,成為IG打卡最夯神秘景點。
When you visit Taichung, don’t forget to check out the giant’s hand sculpture situated in the middle of the forest in Dongshi District. The half-buried giant becomes the most Instagrammed spots to go for adventures.
據說,位在雪山坑的巨人遺跡原先是雪山花園農場所在位置,但因這塊土地為原住民祖靈地,在地人勸建商不要開發,後來悲劇果然發生。當時為紀念罹難工人,而設立這座巨人雕像。
It is said that a leisure farm was scheduled to be built on the land, which was indigenous people’ s sacred site. Despite warnings from locals, the construction started, and a tragedy happened. The sculpture was set up in memory of the worker who died during construction.
附近的雪山坑山蘇森林為賽德克巴萊、西遊記女兒國的取景地,走在濃密的森林內,一抬頭就能看到附生在樹幹上的大片山蘇,相當壯觀。
A few minutes’ walk from the giant’ s sculpture, the primary forest is the movie settings of “Warriors of the Rainbow: Seediq Bale” and “The Monkey King 3.” The thick and dense forests filled with bird’s nest ferns is absolutely a must-see spot for the nature lover.
