Wandering by Train

Wandering by train

In Taiwan, we can take a train from Keelung to Pentung with an Easy Card , it's convenient to take a wandered trip, no destination just following the feeling to somewhere.

Someday ,when the rainy and cold weather bothered us , we got on a train toward the south, through emerald green fields and hills ,passed by the blue sea rolling waves of breaking against the rocks, and the rural , farm and urban view like changing pictures.

Chasing after the sunshine ,we got off the train and walked out from Fun-Shan station.

Awesome ! It's a beautiful city, surrounding by a long stream called Tsaur Gong Jiunn which was an irrigation channel, built in 170 years ago by Tsaur Gong ,from Kuo- Pen River to irrigate the farms almost all Big Kuoshung area . When the industrial life instead of agricultural society, the people ignored it's existence and became a dirty under channel. Currently, the local residents remembered the past great channel and recovered glorious features in friendly environment with clear water, plenty of various plants ,athletic equipment ,leisure garden ,children park and bike path.

Now ,Fun Shan is a quiet, pleasure city surrounding by the winding stream and making your head swim scenery. Our meeting with the amazing city was by accident but enough an unforgettable trip.

坐火車漫遊

在台灣，我們可以憑一張悠遊卡坐火車從基隆到屏東漫遊，它很方便可隨意上下車，可以是沒有目的地僅隨感覺去某個地方的旅遊。

某一天，當我們煩透了濕冷的雨天，我們坐上了開往南部的火車，穿過翠綠色的田野和丘陵，駛過藍藍的海洋，看滾滾浪潮衝向岩石激起浪花，鄉村、農田、城市的景緻像一幅幅不斷變動的畫。為追逐陽光，我們在鳳山市下車，走出火車站。

哇噻！這是個多麼美麗的城市！它整個被一條長長的河流包圍著。這條河流叫曹公圳，是一條灌溉渠道，在一百七十年前由被尊為曹公所建設，從高屏溪取水，曾經灌溉區遍及大高雄地區的農田。當工業化的生活取代了農業社會，人們忽視了它的存在，逐漸成為骯髒的地下渠道。近年來，地方居民懷念以前偉大的灌溉渠道，並以生態環保的友善思考，淨化水質，廣植各類水陸植物，運動設施，休憩庭園，兒童樂園和自行車道，恢復其過往的繁榮景象。

現在，鳳山市是一個安靜舒適的城市，它被一條蜿蜒的河流和令人目眩神迷的風景包圍。我們和這個奇妙的城市相遇純屬偶然，卻是一個令人難忘的意外小旅行。
